Has anyone replaced the fuel pump?
#11
Ok, I'd like to rephrase the question: Can anyone tell me the symptoms of a broken fuel pump? My car initially turns over, starts for a second, then stalls. Then after that it just turns over and doesn't start. I hear the fuel pump come on for a second as soon as the engine stops cranking.

1. You get in the vehicle and dock the key
2. The ECU primes the fuel line by running the fuel pump for a couple of seconds
3. The fuel pump is shut off awaiting further instructions from the ECU
4. You press the start button and the ECU commands the starter to run (assuming that you have met the criteria)
5. The ECU checks the MAF, MAP, Crankshaft and Camshaft sensors when it gets a plausible reading from all of these it turns on the fuel pump
6. If an invalid signal is received then the fuel pump never runs (beyond the initial priming) and the engine will not run for more than a few seconds
As has been pointed out the best place to look for a problem at step 5 is by checking the fault codes.
If I had your problem I would disconnect the MAF and force the ECU to use the MAP and if it runs with the MAF disconnected then look for a problem with the intake tube or with the MAF.
Good Luck

Yeah, that looks like low voltage gremlins...
This car absolutely hates a weak battery, and even a new battery can go bad, it's not that uncommon especially in this era of supply-chain issues.
Make sure you have the right battery, and it's not an el cheapo special.
Get the battery tested professionally, ie CCA. A static voltage check is not sufficient to determine if the battery will hold voltage during cranking.
Check grounds as Paul suggested. I would also check all of the big positive power cables (I think they're all red, but not certain). The ones connecting the battery, starter, and alternator.
Also... it's a possible that a tired-out starter could draw too much current. Only way to check for that would be a bench test or maybe resistance check on windings. If removed the starter I'd probably just replace it at that point, especially if it has a lot of miles (100k+).
