Re: 2000 Olds Silhouette Fuel Pump Replacement

Thanks for the advise. It ran ok for a couple of weeks after that. And then last week I drove home from work and went to head out again after 20min and it wouldn't start. Well it would start but sputtered and bucked and died. Then it would turnover but not start and then it might start but sputter and buck when you gave it gas. Next day started fine but the pump seemed a bit louder and noise you get at the pump when it presurizes sounded a bit different. Ran fine for a week and then last night on way home it starts sputtering and won't accellerate but does not not die. I limped the rest of the way home. It would accellerate if you pressed the gas very slowly. Turned it off at home and wouldn't start back up. Didn't get chance to try today yet.

Will check out connector when I get home, meant to earlier. Is it the only connector in the area? Will it be easy to spot?

Do pumps die a slow death, everyone I know who has had a pump go, including me, has the pump go suddenly?
