Re: In-tank pump junk=start up stalling? 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be Greg Wong on  Thu Nov 2 03:58 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi Phil, your problem sounds similar to mine, if the car's been sitting for maybe 10 minutes, it can crank for a while, but will always start quick on a second try. And then it can stall just like that, but if I start driving, it will never stall.

Anyways, recently the intank pump and the pressure regulator were replaced, and the problem is a little better. It will start quick all the time now, but it still stalls sometimes, and sometimes the check engine light blinks on, but then goes out. I don't know what it is, but I suspect a vacuum leak.

I remember reading someone saying (about the plastic bellows between the AMM and the throttle body), that even if this piece looks good and you can't find any holes, sometimes just because it is old, the ends won't seal well anymore. I'm thinking about replacing mine.

Anyways, does your fuel pump make a lot of noise? Mine was noisy, and it turned out the intank pump wasn't working, AND the pressure regulator was making high fuel pressure. Those 2 things combined probably would have killed the fuel pump before long.

Hope this helps,

Greg
