I just started having this problem after getting the intake manifold replaced a month ago. Three different times it hasn't wanted to start. First time, it took about 6 tries before starting, second time, wouldn't start until car sat overnight then it started right up and third time, was last night, drove to town just fine and after about 3 hours came out to start and it never started, would turnover but not fire.. left me stranded last night. I have already changed plugs and wires, fuel filter and had battery tested by walmart and they say it is still good. Some say it might be the fuel pump but I feel like it could be a sensor or module. Can't afford to do a lot of trial and error work. If anyone has an idea or a similar problem please help!!!
Update from Aug 10, 2012:...........................FIXED! I decided to take my car to have the electric system checked first before just changing the fuel pump... it turns out I had two bad relays; one to the fuel pump and I believe he said one to the engine? And nothing else showed up on his electrical tester. Hind site is.... the two relays are only around 30 - 40.00 dollars to buy and I could probably have changed myself but the fuel pump relay felt like it was working when we check it ...So the tester charge was 66.00 and labor 35.00, Hey! we all have to make a living and I'm not a mechanic.... I feel blessed my repair was this cheap and easy to fix....
