tried to start my car and it wouldnt. thought i was out of gas so i put some in and still wont start. battery is good. fuel filter is good. it cranks but doesnt turn over. trys to but dies immediatly. i think its the fuel pump. i poured some gas down the throttle body and it fired up then died.
Get a fuel pressure gauge, and see what fuel pressure is KOEO. Also get a spark tester and test for spark while cranking it.
Thast the next step after you think the battery is good.
Your missing either fuel or spark is my best guess.
Of course if you have both those there is a long list of what else it could be. Ignition switch, coil, starter, timing chain could have snapped, list goes on and on. But because you said it fired up, I'm doubting the starter.

swap fuel pump relay w/ A/C relay, if it works then, u need a fuel pump relay
pull the plug and crank it have you old lady touch the plug at the same time. thats a spark tester around here........lol she would kill me if i pulled that shlit on her, sad thing is she would do it.....lol
not the relay on my way to buy the fuel pump
yup it was the pump,
fixed it now it is running great
