The fuses for the fuel pump are under the hood, there should be a little map on the top of the power distribution box, or whatever it is called these days.

He just wanted to know if you had it out cause you may unplugged the MAS which would cause it not to start.



The only fuses that could cause it not to start "should" be under the hood in the previously mentioned location.

I pulled the EGI INJ fuse the other night after I put the motor in thinking it disabled the fuel pump and injectors, but it didnt :rant: ****** puddle of gas made me so high, the fuel rails were just hangin there, no injectors installed.

But then I remembered my switch and flipped it off.... was too cold to look at the wiring diagram, I just wanted to prime the oil system a bit after I filled the sump. There should be a fuse somewhere.

At this point if the car still doesnt start and its getting fuel, put a small amount of Marvel Mystery Oil in the plugs and let it sit overnight, if you flooded it badly enough this will help clear it out.



Seems odd it didnt start after you did your stereo work, are you sure you didnt either unplug something, or tap into a wire for power not knowing what its for? Perhaps blown a fuse? You check the fuses under the hood and in the fuse block to make sure they arent blown?



There is also a plug under the steering column off the right, like 6-8 wires in it, one side of the plug is yellow I think, you didnt either un-plug that or try taking power from there did you?



If the air box isnt bolted on the throttle body the car wont start even if the MAS and the AFM is plugged in. Your AFM is plugged in isnt it?
