So i took my starting spray and sprayed it on the accordion hose (this was to see if it would leak in and start it im assuming), nothing.
I also just pulsed spray into the intake again while it was running, it ran fine and didnt sound like it had any hiccups (but i dont really know what to listen exactly for).
I checked the connection on the MAF, seemed a little dirty so i cleaned it just in case with an electronics cleaner (ive used it on amps and kettles before). That didnt change anything.
And i also took another listen to the fuel pump relay, it did click while cranking. (Would this mean somethings not energizing it until i crank? is that normal?)
I tried finding replacement fuel pumps & filters, i found the main pump & filter easily, but couldnt find an in-tank one at all. Also would i need to change hose clamps, or other little bits that dont come with the pump?
EDIT: also i recently asked my dad why it didnt pass smog last time we sent it in, he said the tests had too much NOx, and also that he changed the MAF tuning screw, but this was a couple years ago, so before the no-start,
