Hey all. So went to drive the 94 Celica yesterday, and stalled out on me when attempting to leave the complex. Wouldn't restart so had to push it back.

Anyway, seems like the engine isn't getting any fuel. The CEL has been on/off over the past few weeks. Attempted to read it to see what it could be, but it's not throwing a code, just a constant flash.

Tried checking the EFI relay to see if it looked burnt out or anything, but looks alright. Checked all the fuses that it could be and nothing seems to be blown. Can smell gasoline under the hood when trying to start the car, but still a no go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was thinking about this when I woke up, so I went to check my fuel pump this way, it works for most cars. I have to warn you that my Celica's fuel pump is very quiet and I think you could miss the sound if you had any hearing loss at all. I also listened while the car was running and the sound of fuel running through the lines seemed louder than the pump, those toyota engineers are top notch. I just want to let you know so you don't go and replace something that is working. I would back this diagnosis up by checking fuel pressure, before buying a new pump.
