I thought you said the fuel pump worked? Bypassing it is not a way of fixing it.

He just told me he used the bypass. Could it be a coil pack?

No, a coil will not cause no fuel pump. The circuit needs to be checked to see why the pump wont work. Back a few responses, you told me you had power to the inertia switch. Your issue is between the switch and the pump.

As far as the spark, you will need a scan tool to check the system. If you do not have a scan tool, you will need someone to check the system for you to verify the ignition switch and the PCM.

We tried to use a scan tool but it comes up link error. We tried a couple different ones and they said the same thing.

Usually when there is no communication, it indicates a possible PCM failure.

You need someone to check this for you.

Why?

I never even told anything about that.

Did you have it flashed to your car? Did you have the key programmed?

What type of scan tool are you using? Is it a code reader or full blown scan tool?

You are going to need a real scan tool such as snap on, tech 2 or something equivalent.

You may want to consider having someone come to you instead of a tow truck to a shop to at least diagnose it for you.

We are just leaving it. We have spent too much money trying every thing everyone was telling us what was wrong. The scanners do not work so no use taking it to someone else to run up the bill. Thanks for your help.
