i have a 01 gt. it has been sitting for 9 months, and when i went to start it last night it ran for about 5 sec. it sounded fine then shut off. today i check for fuel pressure and had none. i checked the fuel pump fuse and it is good. the fuel pump is not kicking on. the fuel cut off switch in the truck is not triped. if you can offer any help it would be appreciated thanks.

Welcome to MF's. You checked the schrader valve and it had no pressure.??
Did you try holding the gas pedal to the floor.

ya the shrader valve had no pressure even when cranking the car over. i didnt hold the pedal down.

i layed under the car and i cant hear the fuel pump at all. i beat on the tank to see if it would kick start the pump but no luck with that either.

Maybe its a fuel pump relay. Hopefully its not your fuel pump.

my manual is with all my crap getting moved here so i can look it up where is the realy located?

If your power distribution box is where mine is its under the hood and the fuel pump relay/fuse is #14.

i checked the fuse and its good. anybody got a easy way i can make sure its the actual pump

I don't know of anyway to check the pump without taking it out.
I'm sure you have gas in the tank right..?
Disconnect the fuel filter and then try starting the car and see if its pumping.

now that i have to start taking stuff apart i will have to wait for monday when my toolbox gets delivered. i just moved back from va and it wont be here until then. its got about 3/4 of a tank in it. so i guess monday i will drop the tank and pull it out and check it. thats going to be fun.
