Car will not start, fuel pump not turning on

Hi Kim and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

If there is power to the fuel pump and it is not turning on, chances are the pump is bad. However, a broken serpentine belt should not have caused the pump to fail. Before you replace the pump, confirm that there is no fuel pressure to the engine. Here are general directions for checking:

Also, switch the fuel pump relay with another one with the same part number in the relay box to confirm the relay is not bad.

Here are specific directions for your vehicle to help confirm the pump is bad:

Fuel pump test pictures 1 and 2 correlate with these directions.

If you suspect a problem with the fuel pump, check that the fuel pump actually runs; when it is on, you will hear some noise if you listen to the fuel fill port with the fuel fill cap removed. The fuel pump should run for two seconds when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the fuel pump does not make noise, check as follows:

1. Remove the trunk floor.
2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
3. Turn the ignition switch off, then disconnect the fuel pump 5P connector.
4. Connect the PGM-FI main relay 7P connector terminals No.4 and No.5 with a jumper wire.
5. Turn the ignition switch on (II).
6. Check that battery voltage is available between the fuel pump 5P connector terminal No.5 and body ground when the ignition switch is turned on (II).
- If battery voltage is available, check the fuel pump ground. If the ground is okay, replace the fuel pump.
- If there is no voltage, check the wire harness.
