  1. Check fuel pump relay: Probe fuel pump test terminal with a test light to ground. Turn ignition off for 10 seconds, then turn ignition "ON". Test lamp should light for 2 seconds. If it does not light, fuel pump relay is at fault.
  2. Check TPS for sticking or binding. Check for high resistance in coolant sensor circuit or sensor itself. Check for faulty in-tank fuel pump check valve. To check, turn ignition off.
  3. Disconnect fuel pressure line at fuel rail. Remove tank filler cap. Connect a radiator test pump to the line and apply 15 psi (1.05 kg/cm2 ). If pressure hold for 60 seconds, check valve is okay.
