Default Fuel Pump Main Relay Problems

I acellerated from a red light when it turned green and didnt even make it to the other side of the intersection becuase my car just instantly shut off. so me and a couple freinds i was with pushed it off the main road and it would not start at all. got it towed home and the whole time i was thinking to myself. "Oh (choice word), i messed up my car really bad and now im gonna drive a beater." turns out thers bad wiring in the main relay for the fuel pump. what a relief.

i got a service manual on my laptop but its like 3245326 pages long. it is rediculous (spelling). it would be much easier to just have the pages i need instead of having to look for them for 3 hours.

if the fuel pump is not getting power it could be the relays solder joints... ive heard that problem to pop up when it gets warm and works fine on a cold start up sometimes... time will tell. good luck with finding the problem.
