Fuel pump? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter UK on  Tue Dec 24 06:37 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi,

Volvo 740, 2.0 Manual. Engine doesn't like to pull away in 1st gear when the car is run for more than an hour, then the engine starts making a horrible hammering noise like it wants to commit suicide, but only when moving away in 1st!

Problem is worse when the fuel tank is empty, and today when I was driving I filled her up with petrol, and it really made a big difference. The engine pulled away smoothly in 1st gear straight after filling up and the engine seemed to drive smoother too.

Also, I seem to get same symptoms when reversing with full steering lock on.

Does this mean I have a fuel pump problem?

Any advice would be great.

Peter.
