Probably failed fuel pump. However, I wanted to see about location of any relays and or inertia switch on this model. Car was working fine parked and twenty minutes later when I went to leave it would not start.

Good morning.

I attached a picture of the location and how to test the relay.

There is no inertia switch.

Have you verified power to the pump?

3. INSPECT CIRCUIT OPENING RELAY CONTINUITY
(a)Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
If there is no continuity, replace the relay.
(b)Check that there is no continuity between terminals 3 and 5.
If there is continuity, replace the relay.
