On a bosh fuel pump (3 tit) does it cut out if it cannot get fuel?? I realize if it is intermittant it is probably a loose connection, loose or bad relay, loose pin on board, or dirty fuse on board, etc.
i am at work, and i am not so sure i will make it home tonight, i have a few tools, but no electrical stuff with me. i was wondering .... what would the pump do with good power and a clogged line?? i made it half way to work and the pump cut out 3 times within 1 min, then dead. i pulled over checked the pump and all connections tight. i tried to start it 4-5 times, heard the pump run for 1 sec then dead. crawled under and shook the filtre and banged on the pump. it started but would not idle. i then loosend the clamp holding the pump and turned it upside down. car started and kept strong at high idle but started to choke below 3500 rpm. I risked the drive into work, and made it idling between 3500 and 4500, it would start to cut out and i would downshift jump the rpm and it was ok again. welcome to my life |

ooooh, i can answer this one, lost my pump on the bay bridge. Ignition, tach drops right away, bounces around. Fuel pump, still sees RPM, so the tach just kinda keeps up with the motor. Either way, no lights on the dash until the motor actually completely stops.

(i also have those thoughts on really long bridges)?? my last fuel pump went up on the highway, super traffic jam construction. only one lane open and nowhere to pull off. pump died. It totally sucked. |

It totally sucked. Sort of lucky I was at the first SF exit and was able to push it to the downhill off ramp. Then across a busy street. Thought I was going to stroke out, but I did it. Fixed it, drove it home. No shoulder at all on the bay bridge, in fact I think i'm lucky it didn't fall down on me when I was there. |
