2001 Toyota Celica Can't hear fuel pump, relay buzzes and car won't start
Can't hear fuel pump, relay buzzes and car won't start
What is your question?
My car battery died after sitting unused for about 8 days (completely dead, no dash lights, no radio). Then I had to travel and left the car for three months. Now I recharged my battery with a trickle charger, the car cranks but won't start. I've also noticed a buzzing sound with the key in "On" position, the sound comes from the engine bay, and goes away when the EFI relay is removed. I can not hear my fuel pump come on when I turn the key into "On" from the "Acc" position. I suspect it's an electrical issue - it may be corroded connections however I did clean the battery terminals and connectors a bit. Also my battery is probably not in the best shape, however if it's strong enough for a few cranks, it should be able to turn on the fuel pump I think? Please help!
