u starved the MFI too much. this happened to be just 2 months ago and i fixed it the next morning by paying extra attention





leave the car key turned over and let it crank for 15-20 second incriments, try many times-- resort to fuel additives as well to get combustion; use fuel system cleaner for example cause it has little forms of gas in it to help get it started

i had a similar problem before and tried looking at that same relay, and i tried new ECU ( mine kept blowing main fuses) it ended up being some bad wiring at the alternator.



so i guess i'm just saying tripple check the harness. the section of wire that was bad i had looked at and touched twice before and didnt catch it was bad.

But no power to the fuel pump means that even if I got the engine started w/ additives it wouldnt run because its not getting any more fuel. (since the pump isnt getting any power)

No fuses are being affected and everything else electrically is working fine. I'll try looking at the harness again.
