on the way home from work today my far stalled twice....then when i treid to start it again, it cranked and cranked but never fired. then finally after sitting for maybe 2 minutes if fired up but had a horrible idle. so i shut it down again and the i waited a few minutes and i started it back up again and drove 2-3 miles and at a stop light it did it again. waited a few minutes longer than before, tried starting it and it fired after multiple attepmts. before i wanna dig into this, has anyone got any ideas?


i was low on gas, so maybe im outta gas, im not sure....just seems strange that i could drive for a couple miles and it do it again....

 

As the car runs out of gas what level the car is sitting at will cause what you described. If you are on a 1 deg angle up. No go. Coast till your on a 1 deg angle down now the car will run. Stop fast, car stall. Let it sit and the gas levels out, the car starts, Drive away too fast and the car stalls again.

 

well later on last night i hooked it up to a fuel pressure tester and the fuel was reading a low 18lbs., then it just wouldnt build pressure at all....so within this weekend im going to replace the fuel filter and pump. any hints on this task?

 

Most likely a fuel pump, had that problem. Can't believe I spent 1000 bux on that

 

Search "Trap door" for the easy way out.

 

^ i actually did and i did it that way.
a LOt easier then dropping everything
took me only like 4 hours to do.
Pictures....

 

Getting to that line conector off to the left can be a pain. I ended up doing a "L" shape so i did not have to cut a line.

 

I ended up doin that as well....just couldnt quite get to the connectors. before i relised that there were connectors i was going to cut them and sleeve them when i was done. im glad i found them before i did that.

 

ouch...thats gotta hurt.
