after replacing fuel pump in my car, my car has only started two times. i think it might be a relay or sensor or fuse, but not sure since i have had some symptoms of all 3 options. the fuel pump engages, but that is all. the last time it started about two weeks ago it ran and sounded great. after about 5 miles it just shut down while driving and has only started once since. how do we go about locating and troubleshooting this?

Hello, I'm Danny.

You might want to check the fuel pump relay to see if working.Here is a tutorial showing how to test:

I've attached a picture below of its location.It's in location #39. I've circled it in red.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
