I had the car for three years with little to no problems. Then the car became harder and harder to start. Til it wont start, even when primed.

Thinking it may be fuel related Ive replaced:

Cap, plugs and wires
Fuel Filter
Fuel Cap
Fuel Pump
Fuel Regulator
Fuel Relay

Im running out of money and would like some solutions

Fyi: Ive used a jumper on the relay to trigger the fuel pump so you would think the fuel pump and relay would be ok, and I have run a wire from the pump to get the car started, I must keep the wire on the positive terminal of the battery to keep the fuel pump going until the fuel relay engages.

Which it doesn't always stay on once engaged?

So at this point the only way to get the car started is with the wire from the fuel pump to the battery?

Please Help?

 

No the pump doesn't stay engaged. These issues unfortunately, take time to diagnose. I see you have replaced everything, which is a start. From what I have read I'm assuming you don't hear your fuel pump go on when you put the key in II? If that's the case you need to get in the trunk with your meter and be sure you have voltage going there when you turn the key, that may take 2 people to do. If I have mis-read and that isn't the problem, then remove the input to the regulator, turn the key on and see if fuel is pumping out. If it does, you need a fuel pressure gauge to take a reading at the other end of the rail. If that's not it, you may have a faulty CPS, Crank position Sensor. If that is shot, there is nothing you can do that will start your car until that is replaced.

 

I ended up gathering a list of possibilities which I found from other threads, and found out that the relay relative to the O2 sensor, I believe they yellow one was bogus! I used the relay from when I replaced the fuel relay, and put it in its place and it started right up! Sad part is I may not have needed to replace all of those fuel delivery elements, however, if not I wouldn't have had the extra relay. Well I guess I should get better gas mileage now?

 

Well done.
