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.

These signs are so similar to what was happening to my car. Removed the injectors and cleaned them, one was clogged.

Lets see how she runs now. Thanks alot for this video.

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.

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.

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.

This was so helpful. My 94 Toyota pickup got a new batteries after sitting for a while and drove but was hesitating and stuttering. Now it won’t start and there is no fuel coming through the fuel filter.

WOW Thank you! You just solve my issue with your #1 issue. My 2001 mercury cougar 135k pos on my 3rd Transmission had recently died while driving and I needed to be towed home. My mechanic and I thought it was the alternator, being that the battery light was always on but a few days later I was in heavy traffic and she died, I was lucky she started back up. Thanks again

I have 276,000 miles on my van. When I tried to start it, takes a couple tries to get it to start. And my wife says it feels like there’s no power when we accelerate... Thank you for sharing this video... this was very helpful. probably going to change it this weekend

Cool. Thanks for watching

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.

Cool.

My 99 Silverado got to 330,000 before my fuel pump died. I had warning sign #1 .. The only sign it happened so sudden.
