Hey all,

Having a rough day. Next week is my finals week here at college and ive got a billion things to do. drove to wal mart today to get groceries and she ran great. came back out and the fuel pump is just going indefinitely. normally it would prime for 2 seconds and then stop to wait for me to crank. i thought it was strange, but i know that the fuel pump runs full-power all the time with a return-style fuel system, so i thought it would start, but no dice.

Whats going on?

jrichker: i am aware of the cranks but no start checklist. no need to copy that over here, although any other advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Did you start running the list?

If stuck in the boonies, I'd pull codes, check spark, and injector pulsing.
