Hmm, if it is cold enough maybe the relay itself is frozen. That relay should be in the power box that is under the hood.

Okay, your reply was great but am l suppose to hear the pump prime by cycling key on and off and is the relay marked Eli or fuel pump relay? Or is the a noted relay marked as something else? thanks.
