We went into the computer and did a self diagnostic test ourselves. first it read a 4, then a 5… sooo… 45. right, so it said it was a fuel injector leak… umm yea, i never saw a fuel injector leak. being an independent mechanic has failed =/ i think i might have to take it to the pros.

Okay, the car is running, cost $197… but oh well it works… The Problem: The wire to the fuel relay was broken somewhere, they put a whole new wire in and bam it started… =/

That’s great! So, it was, “No electrical power to the fuel pump.” It can take a LOT of practice (and color pencils) to read wiring diagrams.
