Default Car Won't Start

i think its my fuel pump but im not sure. it happened to me while driving when speeding up on the highway. the car just died and wouldent start after.

It's in the fuse box under the hood an the driver's side.

Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to run?

Double check your relays. My ignition relay took a **** and would cause intermitant no start but when it finally took a dump, I was driving and the car just lost power and stalled. I didn't know what it was at the time but after swapping the fan relay with the ignition relay, the car fired right up...so, i replaced the relays.

i tried doing the fuel pump relay under the hood but no luck. is there any other relay i should check? the car cranks well but no idle, it will barely idle then die. I still hear the pump prime when i turn the key. by the way my car stalled when i was driving also. I was just at wide open throttle on the freeway then all the sudden on deceleration it started it to stumble and miss.
