It cranks, but does not fire.
Tach jumps slightly.
Fuel pump relay was pulled out and put back in.
#1 He's staying safe and calling AAA.
#2 Hoping there's another thing to look at or try to get it running.
Any suggestions?

There is a relay panel in the rear trunk.
Position 1. DME relay
Position 2. fuel injector, ignition coil relay.
Also I believe there is a fuse for the Imobilizer under the drivers seat.
A failure in any one of those would prevent it from running.
He could start with those.
If no joy then he could start with:
Is it a no spark issue or no fuel issue.
once he has the answer to that it will give him a path to take.
He can check for a no fuel issue by spraying starting fluid into the intake and see if it will fire.
He can check spark with one of those spark testers you can get from any auto parts store.
Easy effective methods
