Wait a minute! It is probably NOT the fuel pump! But instead the fuel pump relay (located in a black box above the coil) is you likely culprit. If you turn on the ignition and don't hear the click->sigh, just sit there quitely and wait. Once the relay get warm enough it will make contact and all will be happy. In cold weather i make it a habit of turning on my ignition for about 10 minutes before i fire her up. THis also helps to warm up the battery so you'll have more juice for the starter. I only do this for the first start of the day- when running errands it is fine. Home this helps M 84
