We took the car out for a ride today and she did fine until 40 minutes later. Just started acting like it was starving for gas then stopped running altogether.
Let it sit a few minutes thinking maybe vapor lock. Started and headed for home. Made it 2 miles and the same thing happened...just starving for fuel...then dies.
Now when I turn the key on there is no sound of the fuel pump. Usually make a little humming noise. This car had sat for nearly 8 years before I bought it. Possible bad fuel pump? What would you think?

Thanks

yes, check the fuel sock...and tank for that fact. maybe even fuel filter....
that would be good maintenance anyway after sitting for so long.

now what you think is staving for fuel?? back fire from running lean???

...or some bucking and stalling. that might be from running overly rich...not starving.
stock 2.0L
MPS and CHT suspect
Manifold Pressure sensor and Cylinder Head Temp sensor.
maybe why this car sat for 8 years. the MPS crapped out and the previous owner gave up.

If I was going to start anywhere, it would be with those 2 items. then report back.
