I was driving my truck the other day and all of a sudden I began to lose power until it came to a complete stop. I tried turning the key to start and it just cranks over but never starts. The cranking sounds normal. I also heard the Fuel Relay clicking very very fast and loud Open/Close when the key was turned to the on position and I also see the check engine light flashing dimly. I swapped out that relay with the A/C relay which are the same and the same thing happens. I also put the A/C relay on the PCM relay position and the fuel pump relay still click off/on very fast. I tested the relay and the OHM reading was 61 which indicates it's fine right? The Fuel Pump relay is the only one that clicks very fast. When I remove the PCM relay the Fuel Pump relay does nothing and makes no sound. Also, if I spray starter fluid down the intake I can get the car started and keep it running.
I should add when the key is in the "on" position but not starting the car, I not only hear the Fuel Pump Relay clicking fast, but I can also hear the fuel pump clicking in the tank.
Any ideas? Thank you!
