Hey DSMer's
I have a new problem, my car won't start. Datalogger shows code 42 (Fuel Pump Relay). The car turnsover and sometimes starts for a second, my guess is the motor isnt getting gas. What do I have to do in order to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Try jumping the relay to see if you get fuel.
 
I jumped the fuel pump with another battery and the pump turned on. After that I plugged everything back together and used the datalogger to start the pump and it worked. Now the car is running normal. I'm pretty sure it's not the fuel pump. What else can I do?
