The output wire out of the starter relay is purple that is the trigger wire to the starter. Is there battery voltage at the starter with the key in the start position?That would tell us if the starter relay was working and giving power to the starter.

Hi. My chevy venture 1999 does not start sometimes. The gas pump would not start, although the starter would and all the accessories. A garage changed the gas pump with no success. It never dies while running. Unfortunately, the car would start when I bring it to the garage and they do not want to work on something that runs

Thanks

With intermittent issues, you have to test when problem is ongoing. Engine cranking, gray wire at pump connector should be hot. Black wire is ground for pump motor, check that also. Note diagram below.

The neutral safety switch supplys power to the crank relay trigger from the orange and black wire. Then the yellow and black wire to the crank relay has to supply the ground to the trigger of the relay for the relay to work. The yellow and black wire is the actual ground trigger from the pcm. The purple wire out of the pcm/crank fuse should have power with the key in the crank position that goes to the pcm.
