Greetings,
My wife came home from work today and all was well. She took out daughter to church and all was well. She went out again to visit a friend, and got about 200 feet down the road and the car died and would not restart.
The car has spark from the coil, oil is good. I suppect a fuel pump or pump relay. I have searched this message board and see where others have had similar problems and most feel it is the fuel pump or realy. One message talked about shorting around the FP relay to see if the pump is bad. I did not find out how to actually do that test. Does anyone here know? If so, please tell me what to do.
I have checked various parts store web sites and they have pumps avaliable (but would have to order it) Does it matter the manufacturer, or are they about all the same? Is the pump relay only a dealer part?
