1994 dodge shadow es 2.5 throttle body engine?

my mums car as she was going to town a few days ago it just shut off , i have chkd all fuse links changed all relays as for testing tested every fuhking thing , when yu turn the key over the fuel pump should prime then stop momentarily then when the initial start position is turn over it should pump fuel to the injector , the pump was replaced about 5 months ago i added 3 gallons of gas to ensure there was enough there . is there any other relays hidden in this type of car for the fuel pump or fuses , i chkd those and found one blown , i replaced it . the only way it will run if yu shoot starting fluid when that burns off then car , well yu know it stops running ...there is a possibilty thatthe fuel pump is bad but i am looking for a possible reason other than that for it not to run . she replaced the fuel pump as i said there wasnt nothing wrong with the other one ...

    the 94 model had fuel pump relay on them that ran the pump ,i use to own one is the reason i know this,if you bought the pump at auto zone there's a good chance its went out again, their fuel pumps aren't worth installing on a vehicle,i think if you,ll check the relay and then check to see if its kicking the pump on you,ll find that its not working,auto zones fuel pumps will also cause the pump fuse to blow a lot,it sounds more like a bad ignition switch or bad relay than anything else on it,the ignition switches was real bad to go out on those cars and cause a loss of power to some of the relays,good luck with it.

    If the 94s are like the older models, the fuel pump is run off of the "auto shutdown rely" which is most likely on the drivers side fender with a few others. If it is not working properly the pump will not run. Sorry I dont know exactly where it is but it at least gives you a place to look. It should be clicking when you turn the key.
