help me help me help me please fuel pump help

[parrish5o]

I feel your pain bro, I have pulled my hair out many nights at 3 in the morning trying to figure out bugs in mine. Seems like you can never get rid of them for long, but thats all part of the game. My fuel system has really given me problems, esepcially the pump. Seems to eat them for some reason, I am on my fourth one now. If anyone has an idea about what may cause this please let me know. Maybe it's just bad luck but I think there may be reason I can't get them to last more than a few thousand miles(I only put about 5-10k miles on it a year). Well good luck and keep us posted. 5o

Has the emergency shutoff switch in the trunk been reset yet? I know this is probably one of the first things that would have been checked, but if not, it's right by the trunk latch between the carpet molding and the taillights. It's designed to shutdown the fuel pump in case of a rear end collision, although the switch has been know to go off on real bumpy rides (like 80 mph over RR tracks), and when changing fuel pumps out.
