Hi;

Thanks again for the help regarding the transmission. Your replies helped us
prevent the tranny guy from sucking about $1000 out of our pocket. Turned out
to be the 3-2 shift "assembly" whatever that exactly means.

Anyway, now it won't start. Cranks fine and has spark but no fuel. There are
three relays I can see under the hood. Does anyone know which one is the fuel
pump relay ?, or if it is in an alternate location ? None of these three click
when the ign is turned on. I've been looking around the web just for a simple
pictorial of the underhood components and can't seem to find one after an hour
of Googling.

I'm leaning away from the pump itself because there were absolutely no problems
with engine performance, it ran like a raped ape. It kept it up after a long
run too, after the tranny was fixed of course.

From what I've been reading I'll need to find the ECM2 fuse and said relay to
troubleshoot this. Even the location of the fuel pump test terminal would help.
I considered even testing at the oil pressure sending unit, but I'm pretty sure
that'll be hard to do, this thing is pretty cramped.

From what I've gleaned from the web it could even be the ignition switch,
something I'll not rule out yet because this was a shut it off and no restart
situation. Had to get a tow.

Anyway, I am familiar with how the modern fuel system works so I don't need a
tutorial on it, what I need is specific info. I realize the relay I seek could
be under the dash, in the glove box or who knows, in these newer cars it could
be in the frickin steering column (a little joke).

Actually I was wondering if there is indeed a better forum for such questions.
I've kicked around in some other groups that seem related to this type of
question, but none seem to be so fast moving or responsive as SER. In fact I
don't seem to see a NG with participants with the depth and breadth of
knowledge expressed here. I actually Googled "groups" and couldn't find what I
need. I even Googled "images" and got nothing, just a picture with pointers,
like that in a Haynes book would do the trick. Not to be found.

Thanks in advance.

How do you know it does not have any fuel? Did you measure the fuel
pressure at the injector rail? I will look at my manuals on monday.
But some GM's will cut the fuel relay if the oil pressure does not come
up. The relays are usually mounted on the firewall inside the engine bay
on the passenger side. Look for a plastic cover. How did you check the
spark? timing light? DO you have a distributor or coil pack?
