Hi All.
First time poster. I have a 94 that was running rough whilst at a slow cruise, would sometimes cut out when coming to a stop. I just assumed it didn’t like to be driven around neighborhood streets and preferred to be on the open road.
I was driving around the neighborhood just to get it out for a bit and it just cut out, I pulled over, tried to start and it cranks, but won’t start. I can disarm the car with the alarm fob, even after removing the battery. I have had the battery checked at the auto parts store and it is good and fully charged. I don’t hear the fuel pump kick in when I turn the key. I replaced the relay in the truck thinking that might be the issue from what I have read from the parts store and still nothing. If I jump the terminals to test the pump, it seems to be working as I can hear it and it gives me fuel at the Schrader valve. When I plug the relay back in, nothing at the Schrader valve after cranking, with the old relay or new relay, same result.
It has 1/4 tank of gas, so can’t imagine that is the issue. I have checked the engine bay and can’t see anything obvious, burnt wires or anything loose or unplugged. I’m not a mechanic, so my knowledge is pretty limited.
I checked the fuses under the passenger side dash and all of them are good.
Is there something obvious that I am missing? Bought the car a few months back and have only driven it a few hundred miles as the weather has been less than ideal. I’ve tried to search the forums and I just can’t find anything that seems to be the same issue I’m having that wasn’t resolved with an easy fix. I’m not sure it is alarm related as I never use it, but I could be wrong. I’ll admit that I can be wrong, especially when I don’t have a clue on what could be wrong.
If it isn’t something that I can diagnose myself, or through advise from others, if someone can recommend a mechanic around the Jersey Shore area to have a look at what is wrong. Summer is here and I’d like to actually be able to use the car before the winter comes around.
I’d be very appreciative for some feedback or recommendations for a good mechanic around the Manasquan area of the Jersey Shore that could help me. Thank you.
