Get hold of an OBDII scanner & read codes & post.

Likely cause is CPS.
Check fuel pressure - It should be 3.8 bar.

If you have no fuel pressure, check fuel pump fuse and relay, then fuel filter, then pump.

You have a schrader valve on the fuel rail in the engine compartment. Check pressure while cranking.

Fuel filter is 130 under car at the back of the tank. Fuel pump is 110 under the back seat.

Fuse is number 4 & relay is in the rear SAM in the trunk.

The easiest way to check the pump is to take the pressure line to the filter & place it in a jar. It should pump a litre of fuel in about 40 seconds.

You should have continuity between 30 and 87 when cranking.

You can test it outside of the vehicle by applying 12V across the coil (85 and 86), and you should hear the relay click and have continuity between 30 and 87.

Your relay coil resistance looks OK. Without knowing the relay specs, I can't say if that is the correct resistance. Coils on relays vary in resistance drastically. The relay contacts should be open when the coil is un-energized and closed when energized. You should have ~12V across 1 and 2 (The coil terminals 85 and 86), and 12V on both 3 and 4 (Relay contacts 30 and 87), while cranking.

The current at the relay coil may just be too low to measure. Do you have ~12V across 1 and 2 while cranking?

I recheck the voltage and I have 12 volts at the pompe when I start.
I unplug the hose before the fuel filter and I start,it does not have fuel from the hose...
I think the pompe is the problem...what do you think on that

Yes, I think you have found your problem and you need a new fuel pump.

Sorry - One of my posts has disappeared. Your relay is fine - the only problem it could have is a bad connection across the points when latched.

Seems your pump is dead.
