@@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.

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.

What are you going to do?

Good video! My 1998 Suburban has 4 of those 5 symptoms. 225,000 miles. It's in the shop right now.

Awesome. Hope that cures it.

Awesome answer, and this sounds like our problem. Most have told us that our issues relates to a weak battery or alternator, and had us chasing our tail. These systems on our car are fine.

Very straightforward and easy to understand. Well done.
