Default Car will not start!!! Fuel Pump?

ok i went to start my car and it would but it had a horrible idle and then it would die. i messed with it a few more times pressing the pedal in to see if it would work itself out nothing it would just die. i try again and this time all it does is turn over. please help if you can this is my dd.

can you hear if the fuel pump makes any noise? Turn the key forward the last point before the car would try to start and have someone listen for it. If you hear nothing, bad fuel pump. happened to me before. could also check your fuel pressure

does anyone know which fuse/ relay is the one for the fuel pump relay?

I'm hoping its just the relay and not the pump. I'm not hearing any priming and the fuel pressure gauge is dead.

Sorry I havn't been back on. I don't know where it is on your car. On mine it's under the hood on the drivers side. There is a box with fuses and a box with the big square or rectangle relays. Usually grey or black. The box cover should tell you which is which.
