Hey new here. names jake.

so here it is ive got a 97 se and i moved it in my driveway then i went to drive it the next morning and it would turn over but not fire. check gages light is on now. i have spark but no pressure in the fuel rail. i went over the fuses real quick and didnt find any blown ones. i jumped the fuel pump out on the relay circut (on the relay its peg 5 and 3 i think). still no pressure. and one more thing when i stop cranking it over it dings at me 3 or 4 times. i have never heard of this before.

Please help!

Is the security light flashing? Try a different key. You may need to do a VATs override.

no its not
im thinking its the fuel pump that went out. i checked the voltage across the contact pins of the fuel pump relay socket and i only got like 5 volts. so im assuming it should have 12 volts but if the pump motor went bad it could cause a lot of resistance causing it to only show 5 volts. but then shouldnt the fuse blow?

idk im still open to whatever anyone has to offer.

what do the 4 extra chimes mean?

Sounds like a fuel pump.

When the security system is an issue the car should start and die after about 3-5 seconds. (At least this is true for a 97) Reason for this is the fuel pump primes automatically with key on and then if the security gets triggered by a bad key etc, the pcm has already primed the cylinders and does not allow the injectors to pulse after that priming.

There'* actually an easier way. Behind the battery should be a lead with a green connector IIRC. You can test there for power. If you have power, the relay is powering for the FP. I don't recall the color of the wires for power at the tank. There is a flat 4 pin connector on the passenger side rear of the tank (tucked up usually) that are the power, ground and level sender.
