So last night I was coming home and while parking on the street my car decided to stall out on me and didn't want to restart. Every now and then it would restart for a second, then idle like crap and die out again. As I was pretty much in the spot, I just left it and came back about 1/2 hour later to recheck it. It started, but had a very poor idle and didn't want to run well, if I gave it any gas it would bog down and stall. Checked AMM, swapped out radio suppression relays and still didn't want to run well. I waited about an hour and checked again, started up fine and ran fine.
This morning on my way to work car started and ran ok, but then just stalled in the middle of an intersection (bogged down and if I gave it any gas it would just bog more). Pushed it back down the road to a street spot and let it cool down again. Would not restart. Even after 2 hours of letting it cool down. Big white fuse relay over toward the right of the fuse panel clicks every time I turn the key to position II/ACC. Car will crank and crank but just won't turn over. I can't hear the pump turning to when I turn the key over to position II/ACC, which normally I can. Could this still be a relay problem (or a wiring problem), or do pumps wear out like this? I've never had a pump wear out on me, so I have no idea what to expect.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks
