So, after trying for a couple hours to try to get my car running after changing the fuel filter, I gave up and had it towed to the dealer. This means that I had to call out of work today.

I have no clue what went wrong. I pulled the fuse, started the car, took off the old filter, installed the new filter, put the fuse back in (yes, the right way lol), and turned the key to let the fuel pump repressurize, and tried to start it back up. And then...nothing. The pump just doesn't want to do anything. I bled the fuel rail, sprayed some quick-start fluid into the intake manifold, checked all the connections, triple checked the fuse, and disconnected the battery for a while.

I know its too late you ask your advise, but what do you think the dealer will come up with?

Chalk it up to experience, I guess.

 

probably knocked a connection loose in the wiring by the fuel filter, that or the line wasn't connected all the way and it's pumping gas on the floor lol.
but from experience, you probably put the relay back in one set of holes over. I did that when I changed out my pump... oops... popped it back in the right way and all was good

 

wow, tht would suck if u took a whole day off work cause of tht...

 

Did you remove the fuel pump relay??? If you did then you put it back in the wrong position.

 

The guys at the dealership told me the fuse was blown. Has this happened to anyone else? I triple checked to make sure the relay was in its proper place. IDK
