245 Wagon With Fuel Pump Issue 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Stuart D Portland Oregon on  Sun Aug 12 08:45 CST 2012 [RELATED]

Hi Guys....I have a very nice '83 wagon that runs like a top 95% of the time. Once in a while while driving, the in-tank fuel pump will just quit and of course, so does the engine. If it sits for a minute or two, it will start up and run ok. The car has a fairly new (1 year old) in-tank fuel pump and a new fuel pump relay so I really don't think it is either of those directly but possibly indirectly. I'm pretty sure that it is related to whatever turns the fuel pump relay on and off as I have noticed that for some reason the relay will just shut off while the engine is already running.

Does anyone know what controls the fuel pump relay or have any ideas on this? This condition is pretty dangerous when you're driving so I'd sure appreciate any ideas anyone has.

Kindest Regards,
Stuart D.
Portland Oregon
