My vehicle will not start, fuel pump seems to be working, when I pour gas in the throttle body, it starts and runs, but when I shut it down it will not restart, throttle body is hunky.

This sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out. When you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?

Hi Dixie Buys Wright,

Here is a link to an article from this site that features written instructions and pictures showing and explaining the process of checking the fuel pressure yourself. If you decide you would like do this yourself you can purchase a fuel pressure gauge online from sites like Amazon.com.
