Took a thirty minute trip last weekend to meet a buddy. About an hour and a half later we parted ways. My 97 SE fired right up made it about 300’ and started bucking, surging, and then died. I had it towed back to the house, and it started right up so I could put it in the garage.
I’m fairly certain the fuel pump is failing but I wanted to see if there were other things to test before dropping the gas tank…again.
Battery is good. Starter will crank and crank and crank.
Will start when the fuel gauge registers gas in the tank. I checked the electrical connector to the pump and it was seated firmly and no exposed or damaged wires that I could see.
If the fuel gauge doesn’t register then no start.
I recently replaced the gas tank. The fuel pump that came with the tank would not pump. I put the pump from the old tank in and it has worked for the past three months however, I’ve noticed some power loss going up hills and under “hard” acceleration. I’ve also had warm start issues.
Prior to this incident it would fire right up after sitting for a week. Would also fire right up when hot.
I have not seen any leaks.
Suggestions?
