About 4 months ago I was leaving my house when my car just died.! It cranked and cranked, but nothing.. I couldnt hear a fuel pump either. So thats what I thought it was. 2 days later i thought just for shits and giggles ill try starting it again, so i get in turn the key and i hear the pump and wahla it starts... up until yesterday. Same problem except this time i go and Buy a new fuel pump and what a waste of money because it didnt fix it... Any suggestions??

What kind of car? It could possibly be a main relay.

ok here, go to dash fuse box pull fuse 14 (alt signal fuse its a 10a fuse) don't look at it or anythng just throw it in the garbage and get a new 10a fuse and replace it.

I speek from experiance on this one. When i was new to hondas this happened to me 2 and I rewired the car both times thinking i made a mistake.

If you have messed around with the Intake manifold (removed or replaced)or the Alt with out removing the battery ground wire then chances are you put a hairline crack in fuse 14 not even visable to the naked eye seriously.

please take this seriously it will save you on big headach seriously.

If this by chance doesnt fix it then you may have a grounding issue look on the thermastat housing ground and see if that screw is tight

oh another tell tell sign that it is fuse 14 is that you will have your check engine light, and your oil light on on your dash when you goto turn the car on.

It could be, Ok when you turn the key to the start position what happens as in

what lights are on the dash that stay lit up, ect
do you have a check engine light is the oil lap staying on is the battery light staying on.
