Check for the fuel pressure.

On the image above, there is a plastic cap on the RH side of the fuel rail, looks like a tire valve cap. Remove it. Place rag (there will be gas spillage) underneat the valve. Press with a pointy object (plastic rod, for example) on the valve...this should release gas. If no gas, turn the ignition on and off a few times (remove the key each time) and recheck. If some fuel present, this may be related to dirty oil filter and/or problem with the fuel tank.

Also, remove and examine sparkplugs for these symptoms (clicky) http://www.dansmc.com/Spark_Plugs/Spark ... talog.html

Well it is the fuel pump...cuz it wasnt working again and when i turned the key halfway i didnt hear the pump turn on like i normally do (i realized what it was).

I'll check the pressure and reset the ECU in the morning.


Oh and I got your msg Tom; sorry i was in a movie. My Dad actually checked the spark plugs using a metal rod against the sparkplug and the otherr end near the wire.

Okay, there was some fuel in there... but the cars starting right now too. You said if there is fuel present i may have a problem with oil filter or the fuel tank? Do you mean no fuel?

Im pretty sure its the fuel pump.
