Q: no fuel
I'm having problems with my fuel delivery.. my car started sunday morning and immediately turned off and then I tried to start it again and it was trying to start but wouldn't at all.
I then got some starter fluid and sprayed it on my air filter and it started but then turned off again.
do you think it would be the fuel pump entirely or the fuse or relay?
My car has 103000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
