Answer 1

Most people don't change their fuel filter which kills the pump, especially chevy. First I would check fues and relays. I useually just bang on tank while someone cranks it over, if it starts you know its the pump. If you can get to connecter at the tank put 12 volts from battery to the pos and neg wires to see if it is truely dead.

Answer 2

Is it a Toyota? Check the timing belt if it has more than 70,000 miles, Other cars with timing belts need changed around then too. This may be the case if it's a high performance machine, you know something with a lot of overhead valves. Good luck I hope it was only your fuel pump.

Answer 3

Check fuses and the special circuit breaker for the fuel pump circuit, often in the car's interior in the back.

But yes, fuel pump sounds right to me. They do fail, especially if they've been run dry.

Answer 4

I would check your rotor or distrubutor cap.

Also, get someone to listen near the fuel pump to be sure it's working or not.

Answer 5

well, first i would see if power even makes it to the pump, could be a fuse, relay, or inertia switch. THEN you can replace the fuel pump.

Answer 6

I've experienced something like that but in order to say if it's related I'd have to know what kind of car it is.

Answer 7
