I went out and started my car the other day, and it ran for about 5 minutes then jus died.Well i narrowed it down to the fuel pump,so either it has a bad connection or it jus took a crap.My question is can i use a after market fuel pump? (recomdations please) Or do i have to buy a new OEM pump?
.....it,s fuel injected......... James |

You can swap relays....get a wiring diagram for your year.....it will tell ya which one it is. "I" have jumpered the pins in a pinch and gotten home.
As to oem,....nah you can use whatever pump that will get the pressure you need....FI or carbs? |

Did you check the fuze on your relay board? An AAR going bad can blow that and cause you pump not to work being they are on the same circut.
