Try banging on the fuel tank, and then quickly try to start it, if it starts your fuel pump is almost dead and will need replaced soon.
If it doesn't start, test for power at the wiring connector on top of the fuel tank. This test requires 2 people, because the fuel pump is only powered for a few seconds when the engine isn't running. If you have power, then the problem is in the fuel pump (completely failed or bad wiring connection on the pump/inside the sending unit)

I have a 92 mustang lx 2.3 and it won't start. There is no fire at the plugs, and I can't hear the fuel pump kick on. The reset on the fuel pump is not popped out, so it is good. Any help woul

I would check the EEC relay and the fuel pump relay for power and ground signals first. Both circuits are controlled by the ignition key switch. The fuel pump should be powered for 3 seconds when you turn the key on.

Hey guys, my caravan started this morning then shut off and won't start again. Heres what I did so far checked fuel pump fuse good, fuel pump relay good swapped with other. Removed neg battery cab

If you have voltage at the fuse and relay, and at the pump, but no fuel pressure, I would say the pump has died or the tank is empty.
Have you checked for voltage at the pump yet ?

My 2003 civic headlights won't turn on. The parking, high beams, etc. all work fine. What's the fix?

its possible the headlight relay is bad it should be labeled on the fuse / relay box you can swap it out with a different relay( stop light relay ) in the box just to see if that works. Just make sure you don't try and use the fuel pump relay or your vehicle wont start.

Changed fuel pump. Fuel pump does not come on and it's not the relay. What could the problem be? Was driving down the road and the engine shut down, but still turns over, just won't crank because...

do you have ignition fire? does the check engine/service engine soon light come on when when you turn the key on? can a scan tool communicate with the ECM? there are several things to check if you have no power to the fuel pump because the fuel pump relay is controlled by the ECM.

97 chevy blazer w/ 4.3 won't start unless i pour full directly into it....what is causing this. was driving and it just stalled ...fires but won't turn over completely

if you can put fuel in throttle body and it runs. then it is not getting any fuel. check your fuel pump fuse and the relay, if ok, then you may have a bad fuel pump or a plugged up fuel filter. check filter and fuses first. good-day !!

1994 mazda b2300 turns over fine but won't start not getting fuel, i do not hear fuel pump when i turn key

There is a fuel pump "roll over" valve in the floorboard on the passenger side. It stops the fuel pump from running incase you roll the vehicle to prevent a fire. Check that the switch didn't trip from someone possibly kicking it or something. Then check any fuses or relays (swap relays if you have a spare or switch with the same on in a different slot). If everything checks out ok, then you probably need a fuel pump
