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 |

Power the pump using 2 pieces of wire directly to the battery,if it runs then move on to all the issues mentioned in the replies.
Good luck. |
