Last week my car decided not to start. It turns over strong just won’t start. First, we replaced the fuel pump, which didn’t work! Second, we replaced the relay switch, which works great for a day but once in a while it won’t start! What am I missing?

Hi,

Which relay switch was replaced? Was it for the fuel pump? Also, if it is presently not starting, check to see if there is an ignition spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:

Let me know what you find.
