Re: Fuel pump issue

My original OEM fuel pump died suddenly too. We drove to breakfast one morning, and when we came out, nothing. If you cannot Hear the 2 second prime cycle when standing at the gas cap door while someone turns the key, that pretty much tells the story. You can try a fuel pump gage to see if there is any pressure. But the only thing I could suggest is a new fuel filter, which you will need anyway. When you have the old one off, and before you put the new one on, turn the key and see if it pumps anything. It probably won't but it is worth a try. If you do need a new fuel pump PLEASE buy an AC-Delco Delphi pump only.
