HELP-WON'T START

[sxray]

06 APEX, sled cranks over fine but won't start. When i turn the key on the speedo needle sweeps but the fuel pump doesn't hum like it should. I switched relays around and that didn't help. Can hear relay click after a few seconds so don't think that is the problem. Is there a fuse for the fuel pump? Any other things to check? Thanks, Ray

there is a fuel injection system fuse...and a fuel injection relay

 

[sxray]

thanks for reply. all fuses in fuse block are good, have to dig deeper.

Check connector on left side of tank

Had a problem as well, It was a result of fouled plugs, go figure, soon as new plugs installed fired right up

You should also be able to hear the fuel pump run for a couple of seconds when the key is turned on.

Can you hear the pump?

 

[sxray]

no, pump is not priming.

It is either your relay the third one in replace it with a new one. Or the pump is gone if your fuses and battery are ok.

a similar thread a few weeks ago turned out a mouse had chewed through the wiring at the top of the tank. have you checked the wiring all the way to the pump?

 

[sxray]

ah yes, chalk another one up to the mice. top of the fuel tank is a good place for them to build a nest. at least it's a cheap fix. thanks for everyones replies. ray

mice got the wires?
post a pic...cant imagine where they'd nest/chew

Looks like there was a nest under the tank and also right on the tank next to the top of the pump. They must have been bored because there is about 3 inches of wire missing. Thanks to all for your help.

Similar thread from a couple weeks ago, with pics on page two.

Yup, that looks very familiar. Only difference is that mouse had a mansion and ours had a condo.
