I agree with what these guys are saying. When you turn the key on, you will hear clicking of relays and stuff, but you should hear a faint (easier to hear if you leave your door open) "WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRM" for about 1-2 seconds and it goes out. Get someone to turn the key while you put your ear near the gas tank/front tire area. It'll be very pronounced then.

 

I figure it's good form to report the results of a repair. I took JBrew's advice and decided not to test the relays. Took it to a mechanic. They identified it as the fuel pump and replaced it, and it works fine now.

The odd thing is it started right up the morning I took it to the mechanic, but of course I knew I was being suckered.

Also thanks for the info about the premium fuel.. I'll go back to 87 octane.

 

Thanks for reporting back!

 

Yea, good deal! Glad you found it.
