ok the charging seems fine, and we double check for the pump and its not working, i think it burnt out cause i found out that, the vacuum hose was to the fuel pressure regulature i belive and it made it work to hard a burnt the pump out is that possible?

Car Crank Prob Again
Ok the car just ticks now and wont crank at all and i found the fuel pump relay and it only clicks once so i assume that it bad so why does it just tick while it starts?
umm, clicking is your starter relay, not your fuel pump relay, fuel pump you will just hear a little humming/buzzing/whirring when you turn the key, did you say ur battery is good?

ok batter is weak for sure like the starter just ticks and the like sensor before the throttle bottle humms, i got it to crank but it started ticken again so im sure the battery my be going bad. So could it not be holding a charge and not be enough to lets say run the fuel system correctly?
