the light flashes.

it cranked over 3 times, did not start and now back to silent.

If you have another key, try it. If not, try cleaning your key and the tangs of the lock cylinder.

thanks i appreciate the help.

it's cranking over now just not starting so it may be the fuel pump ?

spray some starting fluid into the throttle body while cranking. if it fires then dies, you have a fuel delivery problem. if it doesn't fire at all, you probably have a spark problem.

i appreciate your help Genopsyde & i think i need a new fule pump. i don't hear the hum from the pump.

would you happen to know where the fuel pump relay switch is located or is there one?

I believe it's in the main power distribution center in the engine compartment.

I'll keep looking and see if I can find it.

thanks

Its at the front driver side fender well in a black plastic box. Check the fuse first and then the relay. Also try manually jumping the pump on to see if that works.

going to have it towed, and get it fixed that's my only real option.

i found the black box, what does the relay look like? & how do i manually jump the pump ?

Like I said you have to make sure the fuse is good first cause if the fuse blew there is going to be no power at the relay but this is a relayhttp://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/699755/5494034/0/1206583619/Relay.jpg

and you want to jump power to the (I believe its 30 terminal) using a jump wire. This will manually kick the pump on if its alive. Also after a little research some f-body's have the fuel pump relay in the passenger kick panel and its grey not black. In either case this method should work.
