Name This Weeks Problem!!!!

[CamaroFan71]

Just had a Racetronix fuel pump installed 2 weeks ago. Was driving home tonight and it suddenly lost power and died while on the highway. Guages all went down and the "check guages" light came on. Tried to start it again and it turns over fine but wont start. Let it sit for a bit and it will start and die immediately. I took the cap off the fuel rail and pushed in the schrader valve and no fuel came out at all, even with my fiance cranking. Fuel pump again or what? Was told it could be a sensor...

Did you change the fuel filter? Checked all fuses and relays? is there voltage at the pump harness?

damn bro.....when it rains it pours. Like Orcus said, check for power at the harness and go from there. You could try just swapping that pump relay with your air relay or something but I'd first check to see if you have power back there at the pump so you know where you stand. I'd have to look it up to be 100% certain but I'm fairly certain going off memory that the grey wire is your hot wire and the black is your ground back there.

Yeah man it sucks Its about to get a match thrown to it. I switched the fuel pump relay and the a/c relay while on the side of the road hoping it was that, but of course it wasnt. I had it towed back to the shop that did the install..... We'll see.

Gas hose popped off the pump?

Gas hose popped off the pump?

Just talked to the shop. Apparently the hose for the pump that comes in the kit, ruptured inside the tank. They said they put a new hose on it for fuel injection and should have it fixed in about an hour. Im glad it wasnt the pump, but to pay to have the tank dropped again for a damn hose sucks!!

I bet it didn't rupture but simply came off like PFM said.....

how many sets of tools could you have bought with this money??

My own lift??? Haha. Thats what truly sucks. While im not the best at electrical problems I am very mechanically inclined. But its having the "place" to do all this work that I dont have.

i had that happen with my pump too...... then recently i belive that the fuel filter got clogged and the same symptoms were happening that are happening with your car.......it is still running rough so i may drop the tank and see whats up
