Fuel Pump General Question
If a feul pump is in need of replacement, doesn't it just stop working, period? It wouldn't work once in a while, right? That would be more like a relay or something? It's not my C4, but its a Chevy. Got spark, and sometimes fuel, sometimes no fuel. Any ideas?

No, being an electrical pump they can just "sorta" die and not provide the same pressure they would when working correctly because they have slowed down. If you're getting a "all or nothing " pump you may want to look at the fuel pump relay.

It's a S-10 Blazer. Changed one of the 2 relays in the glovebox, but nothing changed. Going back to the store to get another one (nobody had 2 in stock). If not the relay, then pump I guess?
