Also considered it may be the ignition considering I key on and off usually 3 or 4 times to prime the fuel before starting but all the dash lights go off and I hear the relay when I turn the key to start position

I'm pretty sure the check valve is bad hence why I key it several times before cranking but when I turn the key I hear the pump and the relay click but no cranking... could be a bad relay or ground but I'm leaning more tword the starter being bad... I'll pull it out and have it tested its easy to remove... starters usually are
