If it is carb. you don't have a relay because your fuel pump is mechanical mounted to the passenger front side of the engine if it is a v8, if it is fuel injection, most likely either your fuel pump is bad or something I had go wrong with mine was the hose that connects the fuel line to the pump had a tear in it. The bad thing is you will have to drop the tank to find out. If it is fuel injected, turn the key to the on position, you should hear the fuel pump buzz, if you hear that check your fuel filter. If the fuel filter don't fix it replace the pump. Hope this helps

Got a 97 jimmy fuel pump is good filter is good, but still cant get it to run

Then one of your statements must not be true. the fuel pump usually is ran by a relay off the oil pressure switch, so if engine stalls fuel pump turns off. There is relay as well. Follow wiring from pump to relay,
if it only starts when primed, then fuel pump must not be getting power at all, suggesting relay, or fuse.
the fuel pump should be audible when key is turned on, shortly then it turns off.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L stalled and wont start. No hum from fuel pump when key turned on, no fuel pressure at rail. I tryed starting fluid thru intake and no go. What could cause this?

is the fuel pump working now. sometimes the fuel relay can be the fault for no fuel. you need between 3-5 bar on fuel rail so just putting fuel in will not work. you will need a meter to check there is voltage getting to the pump the wires on pump remove them and connect to the meter and turn on ignition if volts then the pump is dead if there is no volts the relay is not working or the fuse has blown, , if fuse not blown then the relay is not working, or there is a damaged wire, even if the relay clicks it doesn't always mean its connecting.

1991 F150 Will not crank.

Do real fuel pressure test using test gauge. You changed ignition module but not coil? Are you getting nice fat blue spark? When spraying starter fluid into intake it only tries to start which makes me think you have ignition problem.

Replaced upper intake now car will crank but not start. starts when starting fluid is used in throttle body and I don't here fuel pump running when key is in on position

with someone trying to start the car hit the fuel tank and if it starts then the fuel pump is bad. also check to make sure all electrical connections were reconnected after the intake.

I have a 1995 Toyota tacoma w/ the 2.4 L four cyl. It will not start just turns over. The fuel pump comes on relay clicks but it just turns over. Sprayed starter fluid in the intake and it sputtered. Any...

Check for a spark first, double check fuel pump is running and actually "hums" when you prime the motor. Check fuel filter, clogged fuel filter could be the culprit and explain why it sputterred with starter fluid but wont run without. Good luck.

Its a 1993 dodge colt vista se we shut off the engine & know it just turns over but wont start

Probably lost either spark or fuel to the engine. Try starting it with starting fluid into the intake. If nothing happens, check for spark on a spark plug wire- probably the ignition system. If it runs for a second or two with starting fluid, it is a fuel problem-check fuel pressure to see if the fuel pump is still working.

Which relay under the dash controls the fuel pump

Only the PCM and the fuel pump relay power the pump.
If the engine runs on starting fluid, we can assume the ASD relay is working because the coils have voltage from it.
You need to check to see if the pump relay has power from a 20amp fuse and a ground signal from the PCM. If it does, and you have power to the pump, the pump has failed.

Got spark will not run

Spray starter fluid in the intake. If the engine starts on the fluid (it'll die once it burns off the fluid) then you likely have a bad fuel pump. You'll want to check the fuse for the pump and the relay (the relay should click when you first turn the key on, it helps to have someone do this while you listen to the relay) before you replace the pump. If you have a volt/ohm meter, check for voltage at the fuel pump as well. If you have voltage there and the pump doesn't run, replace the pump.
