  • T/A left me stranded. Fuel pump bad?

    Went in to get gas(on empty) afterwards car won't start. It cranks but
    can't keep it running at all.
    Is it my fuel pump? Its sitting at the garage right now....

    sounds like it might be the pump
    need a pressure gauge to check.
    pumps need fuel to stay cool. Thats why its recommended to not go under a 1/4 tank

      this is true. Sounds like a pump. Check pressure and power.

        Idk much about that, it is possible that it sucked air into the fuel lines. Id try to pressurize it and bleed the fuel lines a few times through the schrader valve near the fuel rails to see if that helps anything.

          Just found out it was the
          pump. Around $800 to fix it, and the pump is in the tank.

            Screw getting the stocker replaced for 800 bucks, put in a $125 walbro high flow pump in there and call it good. I did the swap on my car, not to bad to do and will help with upgrades later.

                I would get the racetronics PNP kit

                I have one and just installed one in another car for ALOT cheaper than that.

                They want you to let the glue dry on the bucket over night when you put a new pump in. The place might be charging for that time too

                  Where can I find that?
                  Are any of these good?? Out of that $800.00, $370.00 is labor, so pretty much the rest is the ac delco pump. I think at this point I am going to look for a less expensive one. But I still have to get them to do it.

                    when I did mine I did the access panel in the hatch area method and then just ditched the bucket. Ziptied the pump to the assembly and works perfect. A lot of people just ditch the bucket when going with the aftermarket walbro pumps. I wish I could get paid $370 in labor to do that install, lol, they are making a pretty penny there.

                      I just put one in and the guy wanted me to cut the access. I will not hack a car like that.
