lol ya its classic random gm at its best. i actually wanna thank you for posting that site cuz i think i just figured it out.
So you say your car doesn't start because you don't have fuel to the injectors?
And I assume you cycled the key on and listened for the fuel pump priming whine and didn't hear anything?
First things first: check the main fuse by the battery. It's a single fuse in a plastic fuse holder. It might actually look a little like an unplugged connector. It will have an orange wire and a red wire going to it. (on older models, the wire color might differ)
Next thing you can check is the fuel pump relay. It looks like the fan (or MAF) relays and is located in the engine compartment, on the firewall, in the corner right by the brake booster.
Unplug the relay.
Identify the wires on the connector:
- an orange wire (might be actually pink/black on some old models) that supplies 12V power
- ared wire (or could be also orange on some models) which you can ignore right now
- a grey wire (or tan/white on older models) which powers the fuel pump
- one thinner black/white wire for the ground
- one thin green/white wire from the ECM
thats off the site you just linked me to. in bold is the fuse i was talking about. i did notice a little while back that the wires on the harness for the fuel pump relay was kinda loose. so it would explain the short. im gonna check it out and hopefully thats it.
