I have had the car for about five months and it ran perfectly. Drove home from work with no problems and when I got home it just shut off. Bought a new battery, fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pump relay, but it still will not start. I am not a mechanic but I am not getting gas to the engine because I pressed the thing that you press to check to see if gas is shooting out but no gas or pressure. What else can I do?

Good morning

Did anyone check for voltage to the relay >>

check the fuse in the fuse block for power on both sides.

Did you check both fuses listed in the diagram I posted? If you do then it could be the relay or wiring back to the pump.
If you dont have voltage then check the fuses for being open

You will need to check for power from the relay to the pump. See if you have power from the relay first. If you do and no power at the pump you have a broken wire.
