Ran fine yesterday, pulled into the garage after work and left it there overnight. Go out this morning to go to work and it won't start. It will crank just fine, but won't fire. Had about 3/4 tank of gas in it yesterday, so it's not out of gas. I didn't have time to check anything, as I was already running late for work, so I just hopped in my winter beater and will check things tonight. What are the things I should check first? I did a quick search and read it could be a problem with the security, but if that was the case it wouldn't even crank, correct? Obviously I will check fuses, what else should I look for? Thanks for any help, hopefully it's not something serious...

Check wires plugs, all that has to do with ignition. Fuel pump?

The first thing I would check is fuel pressure, it is easy to do and will let you kow whether it is a fuel issue or not right away.

Fuel pressure and ignition/starter relays under the hood. See if you're getting a spark at the plug

Not sure if this pertains or not, but I've been having some problems with my fuel gauge recently. It will send itself to E at random times, but usually slowly goes back to normal after a couple of minutes. The car drives the same. Yesterday it did this on my way home from work, and I turned the car off at a red light and restart it, then the gauge read correctly (about 3/4 tank). Maybe that will help narrow down the problem...

Are any dash warning lights on?

Checked the fuses, they all seem fine. Don't hear the fuel pump priming, so it looks like fuel is the issue. Waiting for my roommate to get home so he can hit the tank while I try and crank it. Anything else I should check in the mean time?

No warning lights when I try to start it, just the usual that are on until it finally starts...

Fuel pump relay?

May be a stupid question, but where is the relay located?

Edit - Nevermind, I did check that. Switched the AC compressor relay with the fuel pump relay and it still didn't start.

The pump could be out. When your turn the key can you hear it or no?

No. Looks like I need a new fuel pump, and go through the PITA of changing it out...

I'm having the same issue today

I pulled all my relays and put them in different locations and the car started up. I put some dielectric grease on them to insure good contact.

The starter relay is a known culprit, always try swapping it with a fan relay.

Hi I know this is an old post but I was curious if you figured out the starting issue, my 02 camaro is doing the same, I'm stumped.
