First of all, thanks for you input / information!! The service guy at the dealer called me yesterday morning and said that he is convinced that it is the fuel pump and that he would not doubt his mechanic, but he could not explain why he was so positive about the fuel pump being bad??? His only explanation was that the bad fuel pump was blowing the relay. I told him that i was not convinced that was the problem. When i picked up the van last night and met with the service guy that help me originally and he was very helpful. He explained that the fuel pump was overheating and shutting down. The last time it shut down, the pump must of had too much resistance and popped the relay fuse which is a 15a. The fuel pump relay is fine. Now this makes sense to me and up to now, the fuse was never thought of or mentioned by eighter the first shop or the dealer. The jumper was bypassing the fuse. The dealer wants almost $900 to replace the pump and the trade-in value is only $1400. The other problem is that we were getting ready to do a trade-in when this all happened. If i keep a handfull of 15a fuses in the van and just run it as-is, will this cause further damage or just prolong the life of the pump?
