Default I think my Fuel Pump died!

I was driving along and the car bucked. The it did it again, and again. I noticed then i could hear my loud pump and then I could not. SO the pump was turning on and off. Do I have a bad pump, or a loose connection. Is that what bad pumps do? How much for a new one? Is there a recall on the 97 fuel pumps? I thought that I saw that somewhere.

They recalled the Fuel Senders due to erratic fuel level readings..Tow it to the dealer, If your tech is cool he will cover it for you.


Good Luck !

I had a similiar problem, check your fuel pump relay mounted in the fuse box under the hood. I took mine out last year, when I replaced it, it was a little loose, and I had an intermintet problem. I bent the prongs out a little, made it a little tighter and it solved my problem! :cheers:
