Re: Fuel pump bad already???

I wouldnt think its likely with that few of miles, but have you replaced the filter?

Is it throwing a code?

Did this start after pegging the rev limiter? Maybe the frps if so...

Is the maf all hooked up and tight? I hit a hard bump in my '94 and the connection at the maf came lose and it stalled out on me. Would hardly even turn on without falling on it's face immediately.

float inside what assembly?

Is your fuel pump running?

You might have a bad CCRM (which is the relay control module -- an integrated set of relays to run fuel pump, fan, AC). It is in the passenger front fender to get to it pull off wheel and remove plastic inner fender splash guard.

Re: Fuel pump bad already???

Yea same **** happened to me today had to get it towed to my G/F's garage. Freaking car has just under 20K lucky me. I was coming back from a viewing so I didn't even start to diagnose (just scanned it no codes found) as I had nice cloths on and wasn't about to dirty them up.

Exactly what happened when my fuel pump went out. Check to see if you have power going to the pump.
