hey everybody, This morning I got into me car, drove to work and had no troubles-- just like it's been for the last two years. Well, I got out of work this afternoon, got in the car, it started right up, but died two seconds later. After that, I couldn't get it started back up. Lights, CD, guages and everything else work fine. You can here the starter working when I turn the key, but it just won't kick over. I hit the gas, but no luck.... the starter just keeps turning. This leads me to believe it's a fuel system problem. ??? Any ideas on what else it could be? if it is the fuel system, what might be the problem? Thanks a bunch guys!!!

check the fuel pump fuse to start off.

then, turn the key to ON, and have a friend listen for the buzz at the trunk.

um... the fuel pump is an in-tank unit, does yours have an in line pump instead?
