I have a 93 Probe. It was fine, and then one day, I went out to move it and it would not start. The fuel cut off light is on so I checked the button in the trunk, it was not tripped. It did start breifly, but would only stay running with my foot on the gas. Now it won't start at all. I can smell gas if I try to start it with my foot on the gas, but it won't start. Is it the fuel pump relay?

Hi there,

You will have to check that there is fuel pressure in the injection rail, and that you have a good spark, check for any set fault codes as well, pull the spark plugs and check if they are wet with fuel(after a start attempt) this will indicate plenty of fuel delivery and no spark, start here.
