In Reply to: need help, car wont start, looks like fuel problem posted by alex in s. fl on February 06, 2002 at 11:08:05:

well, so far i have put new spark plugs, new dist cap, and rotor. wow, the dist cap was really worn out, and the rotor was cracked on one of the 3 ends. so the old rotor is now in 2 parts, i never seen that.

i have also replaced the fuel filter. i removed the transfer pump(one in the trunk) and check it by giving it voltage, and it hummed quietly. so i pretty sure it is ok.

i notice a clicking noise coming from the relays in the glove box( which is where the main and fuel pump relays are located for my car). is it suppose to do that.

i have also removed the hose from the filter going to the fuel lines which goes to the engine.
so i am testing to see if fuel is coming out of the pump in the trunk, then thru the main pump, and then thru the filter. guess what, no gas.

what can i check to see? i am going to disconnect the pump terminals and going to give it manual voltage.

please give me some advice.
