Hi there. Your vehicle’s fuel pump needs to prime/whine when the ignition is turned into the on position. If you do not hear this humming noise it can mean you have a faulty fuel relay or fuel pump itself. Another thing that can be going on is a blockage of sediments in your fuel filter not letting fuel flow through. Have a mechanic sent by YourMechanic come to your residence and diagnose your starting issue in person.
