HELP ME I am getting mad at my fuel system
Wednesday, June 14, 2006 9:42 AM
I need some help with my fuel system...I was having problems frequently with the fuel pump not working when trying to start it, so I assumed I would check it out....fuel filter was obviously overdue and pretty plugged so i figured it was a fair assumption that the pump burned out from overworking...so I changed the filter and put a new fuel pump in....and thought I had the problem solved cuz it fired up and worked great.....until this morning. I had to turn the key like 10 times before I finally heard the fuel pump kick in and then it started. Is there a fuel sending module or something like that? or what else could it be

The pump going bad is sorta common, and quite expensive to fix. It could be the internal circuitry in which case you're basically stuck buying a new pump. Could also be the wiring going to the pump too....

well the pump was "recycled" or used but tested with 30 day guarantee from a reputable salvage yard...but I suppose anything is possible. I just visually inspected the wire harnesses by the tank and everything looked good. Thats why I was wondering if there was some module somewhere or perhaps a ignition issue...and there are no "DUMMY" lights on either

I considered that and switched it with the AC relay cuz there the same...but that didnt make a difference....then again the relay was making a clicking sound, Could that mean its not getting enought power to switch the relay on?
