LOL. Crappy, you're ok, I don't care what the others say about you, but you're ok.

But I wasn't suggesting that a clogged filter was making the car lose spark. It could be sputtering due to lack of fuel due to a clogged filter (or air filter).



Tony,

I wish that was the problem right now. It would be a whole lot easier than what it seems to be. Unfortunately, there is no sputering, It cranks but won't start. In fact, there isn't even a signal from the PCM to the FP relay. And, there is something else going on as just shorting the relay and leaving the pump on all the time doesn't fix the problem (at least it still won't start). BTW, the tank is a little over half full and when I siphoned it out, it was as clean as a whistle.
