Have you checked the fuse?

The relay should be in the passenger compartment relay panel, usually down near the kick panel.

I merged your two threads.

Did your fuel pump relay/fuse fry again? If it did, you may have a bad fuel pump or faulty wiring.

hat,

Please do not create a new thread everytime you return, just add on to your existing one. I merged the posts, again.


How do you know you are not getting fuel?

Unless I am wrong about this, shouldn't you still have gotten spark if your fuel pump was really bad? Was it soley your idea to change that? And didn't you say you changed that part twice, thinking that was the problem?

Regarding the CPS, I'm not sure if that prevents both spark and fuel. Wouldn't doubt it though. There is another component that can cause that symptom too is when something is amiss with the distributor pickup, on some cars. It can cause these cars to go into some auto shutdown mode.

You'd think there'd be a trouble shooting section in your manual for those 2 simultaneous conditions: No fuel AND no spark.

A bad ignition or possible ECM issue maybe too. You might be better off having a mechanic take a look.
