Yesterday was nearly 70 degrees in Wash, DC - I took off work to look at the car...Well, I pulled the newly replaced fuel pump to determine that it had a hair line crack on the plastic portion where the wires connect which I suspect is causing the fuel leak that my mechanic said was coming from the tank. Once I removed the cover to the pump, I could see fuel sitting in the cap area - which was not present when I chg'd initially. Additionally, I noticed that the pump is not working when keys is turned to prime position - even after swapping fuel relay with matching relay....I did't chk the system relay - b/c I was sure which one it was......Delighted it's not my tank leaking fuel...My mechanic that he would chk the pump with a battery to see if it is bad and then chk the wires to ensure that there's no break....since the car was sitting for nearly 4 years....I may have blown the cheap pump by not chging the filter (as someone on this site suggested) Any help would be great.... Keep you folks posted.....Thks |
