Replaced Fuel Pump, STILL NO START!!!!!!! - DodgeTalk

It could be many things. When you first turn the key to the on position do you hear the fuel pump kick on? If you don't hear the fuel pump it could be the problem. You might also check the fuse to the fuel pump. It could also be a clogged fuel filter but I would guess it is the fuel pump.

Get a can of spray starting fluid and see if the engine starts up and dies right out, if so you have lost the injectors, either the PCM is fault (unlikely) or the power circuit to the injectors from the injector fuse is defective due to a defective wiring issue.

Seems to me you have a short to ground what you can do is unplug the fuel pump connector then replace the fuse to see if it still blows if it does not then you need to replace the fuel pump and sender if it does blow then you will need to trce the wire back to the fuse panel to see where it is shorted ....

Does the engine spin over?

Your car doesn't have a reset type of button for the fuel pump. The pump is powered by a relay fed by a 20 amp [usually] fuse and the relay is controlled by the engine computer. The pump doesn't run with just the the key turned "on" unless the engine is cranking or running.

Check your fuel pressure.
Possible fuel pump malfunctioning, check the fuel pump fuse and realey.
Check your ignition .

There is a good chance your fuel pump or ignition module went out... Without more info, its hard to tell.

Hope this helps...

This sounds like the PCM has taken a turn for the worst. The pcm relay sends power to the fuel relay for 2 seconds to prime the fuel system just before start up.
Then the pcm ungrouds the signal for a prove out.
