Hiya-
My trusty 93 caravan can smell a paycheck...
I ran it until it had drops of fuel in the tank and
it wouldn't start this morning, so I rode to the
gas station and added a gallon to the tank.
Cranks fine, has spark, has gasoline but will not
start (so far). Does this mean bad fuel pump?
What are the symptoms for a bad fuel pump?
Temp gauge is okay-- warms up with car and
sits just below half... engine turns over so is
not frozen due to oil leak...
Any suggestions?
Thank you

The way you are talking, you already know you need a new fuel pump.
Your not supposed to let fuel pumps in gas tank run dry.
Whack the bottom of the gas tank with a rubber mallet.

Thanks, Bernie-
The fuel pump has proven to be just a tick
more resilient-- after the car sat in the sun
for a while, it started.
