1994 cranked right up this morning as usual. Never had a problem starting it.
Drove 4 miles to the bank. Parked the car for 4 minutes, went back out and it cranks but won't start.
I can hear relay click when I turn the key but don't hear the pump whine. It's a little difficult to hear by myself in a buy parking lot!
From what I've read could be inertia switch, fuel pump relay, fuel pump. Anything else?
I have a strong hunch it's the fuel pump as I believe it's original. I am going to check the inertia switch to make sure it's not tripped and switch relays to see if that works.
If not, I'll get a fuel pressure gauge and see how much pressure (if any) is on the rail.
Anything else I should troubleshoot or look at?
It's just weird that the pump would die like that. Never had any problems with it before.
