I have the vehicle listed above. Parked it at work. Went to start after an hour or so it would crank, but wouldn't start.
I knew enough to listen for the fuel pump (a slight humming noise), but heard nothing. So I replaced the pump. Still no start.
Some investigation online revealed that in many cases the fuel pump relay burns out. This was the case with this car too - the relay heated up. It melted the fuse block (under the rear seat) around one of the pins. The advice was to replace the fuse block. A little expensive, but an easy enough job. I replaced it - still no start!
I'm trying to think of what to check next. There is no power going to the pump. Nothing going to the fuel pump fuse. When I turn on the key, I hear the relay clicking, so it seems to work. The relay and all the fuses are new as they came with the now-replaced fuse block. But still no power to the pump.
My question is, is there another fuse/switch that deactivated the power to the fuel pump? It is the only thing that would make sense to me.
