About 2 months ago my 03 trailblazer would not start. Or it would run awhile and then quit. I took it to 3 mechanics and they said it was the fuel pump. The fuel pump for my car was just too expensive for my budget so I decided to wait to replace the pump. As I was having it towed home the tow truck driver said he would also take a look at it. At home he noticed that the fuel pump "relay" was hot so he replaced it. Guess what...my car started. It ran fine for 2 months. Now it is doing it again. Once it dies I have to replace the relay with another in order to get it running. It does not even have to be a new one. I have 3 relays I rotate to get it running. When the car does not start I try one of the three in until it does start. Eventually it does start. It is almost like the car tires of one relay and has to have the one from yesterday. All three relays are good, it is just which one will work "today". I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I cannot afford to pay $500.00 to replace the pump just to then find out it is something different and then have to pay for as well. Please help if you have an answer.
