Fuel Pump Problem

[stirlenr]

Thanks for all the input.

Jay in answer to your questions, the car has an electric pump with the dash switch. The switch was on and the car running fine when the engine quit. When I got the car off the road and started to check things, I realized the fuel pump was not making any pumping sound. I cycled the switch a few times to see if the pump might be stuck, but nothing.

Once I got the car back home (on a flat bed), I checked all the connections I could reach and checked the fuse but everything seems fine. In tracing the wires, it seems the pump itself must be either on top of, in or in front of the tank because I can't locate it to check the actual connections. I checked for an access port in the trunk floor but nothing. I hope you don't have to drop the tank to access the pump.

In any case, I'll plan to give you a call tomorrow (Tuesday) to figure out next steps.

Thanks again to all who responded,

Rick

sounds like you may have a holley pump. They will do this because of the Magnets coming loose when hot or something like that. Something Holley would never admit to anyways.

The question is what type of fuel pump do you have?
