Hey wassup guys/and girls tonight was a **** up night. I just drop my sister off at work in manhattan. On my way back tell me why my engine cuts off! Everytime I start it, it just dies. I had to paid a tow truck driver to take me back to brooklyn. Now i got to make sure its the fuel pump that bad. Have any of you had this problem? PLEASE HELP ME?

 

Fuel pump is pretty easy to replace so don't worry about it too much. Just the part is going to set you back some. The labor shouldn't be more than 1 hour ~$60. YOu can even install it yourself. It's under the rear seat.

 

It the fuel pump bad? the tow truck driver told me this

 

It's hard to say. It's either the fuel pump or could be something wrong with the ignition system.

 

Im going to do some touble shooting later on.

Could be the fuel pump. If you turn your key forward (don't start) you should hear a buzz for about 2 seconds. Thats your fuel pump kicking on. It will continue to buzz when the engine is running, but will be harder to hear. you might be able to hear it under the car. Otherwise, pull the backseat, pull the access panel to the top of the fuel tank, then put your hand on the top of the tank. you will feel a vibration if the pump is running. If it is, the filter could be clogged. I this doesn't solve it, I would take a trip to the dealer (saves guess work and time).

Try to replace the fuel filter. When disconecting the fuel hoses look for fuel dribbling out. If no sign of fuel then your pump is gone. Just my guess- your problem might be in the ignition system. Fuel pump rarely go bad.
