- Sun Feb 05, 2012 9:14 pm #293429 Has anyone had problems with their fuel pumps? I bought mine not too long ago and it seems to be acting up. It won't always prime when I turn the key, therefore it won't always start. Its doing it more and more lately and I can't figure out what's wrong. Any suggestions?

- Mon Feb 06, 2012 3:47 am #293463 The main relay is clicking, but the fuel pump won't always prime. You think the fuel pump is sensitive to temperature? Its gotten colder here today more than usual.

When a fuel pump dies, it is toast. Unless the connections to the fuel pump are not secure.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
