Darryl, It sounds like the starter not fuel.If all the wiring going to the starter looks ok, and they are not covered with rust. I would un hook the battery and clean the connections and if that doesn't solve it then the solenoid on the starter is most likely bad. Best to replace the complete unit.

I had a new battery put in my car, the orininal was going bad. Well anyway when it came back fom the shop, my mechanic said everything seemed to check out. He didn't look at the fuel tank beacuse I had a full tank. Well anyway I drove it all day when I got it back. I maybe had it out for 45min altogether. Anyway I got home and couldn't put it in the driveway, my moms boyfriend came over so I had to leav it across the street. Well about 30-35 min one of my friends called and wanted to go hangout so I went into the car turned the key, the cd player, lights, dash, center consaol all came on, everything but the motor. just like in my lost power post when it died on the road while in motion. I tunred the key and only the elctronics came on. If I turned it to start everything shuts off but as you pull back everything comes back on. I hear a clicking nosie come form the fuse area. And I hear a sound from the engin, it sounds like it would right before it fires up, but it won't even crank! Could it be fuel, it ran beautiful all day, nothing gave me any signs to worrie, aside from almost a bad start earlier on. But it took less then a second to go.
