Can anyone advise me whether a fuel pump will or can work intermittently. When it won't start fuel will drip from injectors. It will actually run a little when sprayed with starting fluid. Next turn off the key it may or may not start. Is there a check valve on the pump system in the tank that can cause this or is it a bad pump. I tested the relay its I even switched it out with a new one. The fuel filter has 200 miles on it so I don't think thats it. I put this fuel sender in the tank just last september. As always thanx

 

BUMP!

I'm having the same exact problem. Some times she starts and others just turning over. It's like she get's to pick her own day off. Any help here?

 

dont know if this will help but do you know where the fuel pump relay is? i had a issue the other day working a 89 ford and it ended up being the relay connection where it connected to the 12v source was all corroded. so it would run sometimes for a few minutes then die. or not start for a while. i just cleaned the connections and worked fine
