Fuel pump getting no electricity wont start 1996 geo prizm

Hello, I would replace the fuel filter. Sometimes the sediment gets sucked up by the fuel pump when run out of gas and clogs the fuel filter. Good luck.

Could be battery, ignition or fuel? Have it checked by a garage!

2 for pump and 2 for sender?
post symptoms, can answer with tests that find actual problems.
low or no fuel pressure, cranking, ?
triple posted?

no start? stalls? what?
checked fuel pressure cranking, did you, and below 30 PSI?
did you know that 1/2 the cars EFI made do not make fuel pressure
just key on but must be cranked, or be running, (crash and burn protection that, the smart engineers........)
if i had and old car like this (and do) (i have many and restored, 10x that)
id buy the FSM, or get the alldata.com login
at the least.
i would , as id bet there are lots of other issues with this old car
never seen one that didnt.
the real issue with GM /Geo bs, is GM changes the colors of
wires on their, 1/2 Corolla car, Geo-ized, i call it.
if you love the car and love to fix it "DIY" and want ALL the facts
this is the book to have.

acts? what does that mean?
if fuel pressure is 0 , 10, or below 30 PSI cranking, sure that matters.
check all fuses first.
the operator guide in the glove box covers this
or get help on the corolla forum. (prizm is that , mostly)

wont crank or will not start.? 2 unique things. no crank always results in , no start (unless you push start the car)
hot wiring the fuel pump relay or any relay in the EFI system , invites
blowing the ECU to kingdom come, bad to the bone that.
I fixed them for 50 years. (electronics controls, so know it !)
you do know its really a toyota right?
what ENGINE? each works different.
my prizm text dump.
89-02
joint venture, GM/toyota with 3 engine used.
1.8L or 1.6L
toy engine, 4aFE, 7AFE or 4AG
open hood look
or use the GM RPO tag
or Use the VIN to find motor used.

does car start with test fuel and run, until the fuel runs out.
do you have fuel pressure, while reading the FSM , way of doing it.
some cars only make fuel pressure, cranking and runing.
other make pressure, for 3 seconds key on, and cranking and running only, and all cars drop pump and injections when ECU sees spark die.
that is why stating which Toyota engine YOU HAVE, helps with diagnosis. and please stop hot wiring your car and learn to use a voltmeter. Ive seen $3000 ECU blown up do to bad mechanics.

the fuel pump is electric and located inside the gas tank.

check gas and filter

sounds to possibly be a intermitant fuel pump or a bad fuel pump relay. Check those areas. Hope this helps.

check all your relays with an ohmeter to make sure they all operate. A code would go off usually only if it is an electrical problem. If you are getting fuel and fire, and no codes it is most likely a relay. If you did have codes then I would say sensor. So check those relays
