[SPEEDY88]

I was driving my stang and then all of a sudden, BANG! the engine shut down on me. I didn't hear a bang or anything but it just shut down on me. Anyway, I looked under the seat and saw the fuel pump relay. I grabbed it and it was hot as hell....Anyway, I took it off and cooled it off a bit and plugged it back in. The freaking car won't start but the relay was smoking???? What the hell? I went to get a new realy from the good ol' boys at Autozone and I plugged in the new one an still nothing....What could this be? I rep[laced my fuel pump with a 25 dollar one like six months ago. The fuel gauge went crazy about a month ago and now it doesn't work. So please give me some suggestions on what it could be...Thanks
