Does "nothing" mean no crank? Or is this always a "crank with no start"? It makes a huge difference.I am having trouble with intermittent no crank no start, It will turn on like a champ then I drive it a few miles or leave it on for a while, turn it off then it won't start, turn the key and nothing, I already replaced the starter and ignition switch and did not correct the problem, should I assume it's the fuel pump?

Many of the parts replaced so far are expense and labor intensive to replace with no fix. Let's see if we can slow down the "parts changing" and improve the fix score.

If on the other hand this is a "no crank", then the trouble shooting is very different. First focus should be on the neutral safety switches. Which means there are different trouble shooting steps for an automatic vs manual.
For an automatic transmission try putting your foot on the brake and shifting into neutral. Does it crank now? Then likely there is a problem in the NSS circuits. Could be the transmission range sensor (DTR) is out of adjustment.
For a cheap low tech quick test, try swapping the starter relay in the battery junction box. There are several relays of the same type or if OK with getting a new one just to rule it out if you prefer.

Well I already replaced the starter with selonoid and believe it comes with starter relay and also replaced the ignition switch and don't know where fuse F2.6 is locatedConfirm there is +12 volts in and out of fuse F2.6 with the key in the start position. Use a KNOWN good ground for testing.
If there's no voltage there a problem in the ignition switch or wiring fault.
If there's voltage then check the clutch safety switch (CSS), starter relay, or starter solenoid.
To check the CSS switch test for +12 volts going into and out of the CSS switch with the key in start. It's also possible to test at the Starter relay pin #85. If no voltage, then suspect a bad CSS.
If voltage at starter relay pin #85 suspect a bad starter relay. You did swap didn't you?

For a no crank problem this is not a bad fuel pump. A bad fuel pump will always have a crank with no start.

Yes I read it but never saw the diagram just other people having different issues but ok I'll try looking againThe starter relay does NOT come with the starter. The starter relay is in the battery junction box located in the engine bay. The starter solenoid is located on the starter.
Did you not read the links provided? The fuse panel diagrams (pictures) for the location of fuse F2.6 was given in the links provided.
The tests of the CSS do not require any knowledge of the fuse.
Hint. There is a link to (4) PDF diagrams under attached files. They have been downloaded 1000's of times. The first 2 are for the Battery Junction Box (BJB). The next two are for the Central junction box (CJB).Yes I read it but never saw the diagram just other people having different issues but ok I'll try looking again
Well the car has been starting fine for the last couple days and did it again today so I press the kill switch and it started could it be the kill switch because now it's doing fineI am having trouble with intermittent no crank no start, It will turn on like a champ then I drive it a few miles or leave it on for a while, turn it off then it won't start, turn the key and nothing, I already replaced the starter and ignition switch and did not correct the problem, should I assume it's the fuel pump?
Or Rather it might be an alarm system but it's a button under the dash board the dealership installed when I bought the car but I will still have the safety switch checked just wondering what you think andbthankbyouvfor your advice also you are correct the starter did not come with the relay just don't know which one is for the starter thank you very muchWell the car has been starting fine for the last couple days and did it again today so I press the kill switch and it started could it be the kill switch because now it's doing fine
Oh I found it under the right side of the dashboard and I know where the BJB is but don't know which is the starter relay but think it's #6Or Rather it might be an alarm system but it's a button under the dash board the dealership installed when I bought the car but I will still have the safety switch checked just wondering what you think andbthankbyouvfor your advice also you are correct the starter did not come with the relay just don't know which one is for the starter thank you very much
