@@martingonsalez6635 I have a 98 Corolla with the same exact issue! Except mine will shut off before I put it into gear if it sits for too long. My car has stalled multiple times when driving. It starts up just fine and will continue like it didn’t just die. Before changing the fuel pump, I just found out that it could be the fuel pump relay! Did you have any luck changing the fuel pump?

These are great tips. My Walbro Fuel Pump lasted 7 years. I am driving a 96 Jaguar XJ 6 already 12 years as a daily driver with over 280,000 miles on the engine. The symptoms are correct. In my case, my old fuel pump became very noisy, as on the old Jags between 95 -97 the single pump model , the pump is submerged in the tank, and literally you can hear it kick in when do cold start. I placed the same Walbro Fuel Pump and keep driving my car with unleaded fuel only and never going below 1/2 in my 23 gallon tank. In order to extend the life of the pump, remember keep them cold, do not run them hot, driving with low gas in the tank. Very informative video.

You are a genius, an angel & a LIFE SAVER Sir! RAV4 1998 Toyota 204,650-mi. Guess I "got away" w/ a "free 79,650-mi. on the FUEL PUMP (beyond your 175,000-mi.). Got stranded 2-days ago. Wouldn't start for 30-min. away from home. Then all of a sudden she just fired right up-- after 2 police officers stopped to render aid. I am ordering my new genuine OEM Toyota Fuel Filter now. It's 5-times more expensive than after-market, but you know what? The factory one lasted 204,650-mi. so it's worth it! God bless you Robert! Super educational, spot-on target, well-illustrated, super SMART video. Now I can sleep tonight!

Checked the fuel filter that I changed only 5000km ago, it was throwing dirty brown gasoline. Thought that the fuel pump was the culprit, changed it and cleaned the fuel tank. Lets see how she runs now. Thanks alot for this video.

Very helpful. My 2005 highlander has almost 195,000 miles on it and I am certain after checking the battery, alternator and fuses that it’s the fuel pump. It turns over, but will not start and I don’t hear the fuel pump motor turn on, complete silence. Now I’ll have to have it towed into a garage that has an honest and good mechanic. I just tried troubleshooting it myself beforehand, so I won’t be totally in the dark when they tell me what’s wrong with it . Thanks for a clear and easy to understand explanation.

Now it just stalls while driving and then hard cranks to start back...(for about 3 weeks now)I have checked the fuel pump relay and it is okay. After a lot of research on this matter..you hit the number one issue "stalls while driving" which I thought it could be the fuel pump as well. because it just runs to good otherwise. Does not use or leak oil for that many miles and I love the car...so I will be purchasing a fuel pump and installing this week...Thank you for your expert advice..

450-$100 online for the pump, jack and 2 stands, some tools and a buddy to help lower and lift the gas tank. Otherwise, going to be pricey.

Robert, thanks just replaced fuel pump on my 2003 Volvo v70 XC. Had all these symptoms you decribed. I thought it was water in the gas and that I had had in other cars over the years. That was a dead end rabbit hole I went down.

Thanks for sharing! For now, the Volvo starts pretty good and has got full performance when accelerating agressively. My 146 875 miles 850 T-5 stalled 3 times without any "Lambda sond" signal ON. I will first check the "M 103" fuel pump relay, the fuse, and change it/them if so. Any way, the fuel pump is as old as the car and will pass away. Once again, thank you very much for all your good tips from France!

Your video tells all the symptoms and my car seems to have most of them. It's 94 Camry XLE,6cyl. with 259,000 on it. My car died several times yesterday, 3 of which it started again, with difficulty, but finally the 4th time, it would not start and died in the middle of the road on a corner. Luckily 2 motorists(men) got out to push my car to the side of the road. Very scary to get stuck like that. I had it towed to a local shop. He doesn't think it's fuel pump, but months ago, when towed to Toyota they said it was sending unit, inside fuel pump, but didn't have part. Got it towed home. Been months since this car died repeatedly yesterday. Started back in August, on a 30 mile journey on the freeway, died after I was at destination, over an hour before it would start. Drove it home. Went to Sears, thought it was their battery causing problem, they said, No, it's intermittent problem with solenoid in Alternator, couldn't fix it, as they were closing, so I drove home, it didn't stall. I just want to fix it once and for all. I think your helpful tips, tell me it IS the Fuel pump. Sometimes when I turn the key, I hear nothing, and nothing happens. 2nd try, it turns over twice and starts, maybe with a little hesitation. But generally does not hesitate when driving. Yesterday was the worst, and had some balking, (lurching) backing out of my driveway. Could it also be the fuel filter, are they close to each other in the car? Neither have been changed as far as I know.

Lol... man every single symptom that you just said my old faithful has had this past year. It dies after running for 50 miles or so with a slow spray of fuel. I can't even hear the pump start after turning ign on, takes like 3x as long to start from two years ago, some times the rpm is really low at start and gradually climbs to 2k. I've had it for over 15 years and it just rolled over 300,000 so yea, it's beyond time. I will order a Bosch pump and filter tonight as well as replace both filters. More than happy with how it's aged over the years.
