Fuel Pump Problem?? 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Noel Griese on  Wed Sep 26 03:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am having what I believe to be fuel pump problems, but I am not sure so I am asking for input on other possibilities. When my gas tank is full, the car starts right up (1987 740 GLE), but when the tank is half or lower it has to be turned over stopped and turned over 2 or 3 times before it starts. Seems to me that it isn't getting gas. I figured it was the intank fuelpump, so I installed a new one and filter. BUT the problem still remains. Could it be the main fuel pump? If so is there a used one out there? I don't want to purchase a new one - I hear they are around $300.

Thanks for any input!
