That's not necessarily a bad pump. Poor connections will cause intermittent or poor pump performance too. Could be a problem with power or ground for the pump. Pretty common problem is a bad ground on the top left rear corner of the frame where the pump grounds. Another is a poor connection at the pump module, (faulty connector).

 

Well originally had no power to the pump car would try to start just wouldn't turn over. Gas into throttlebody car would run. Now a new fuel pump and filter with the rewired connector car starts for about 10 seconds then idles down and dies. Going to get a fuel pressure regulator at autozone now.

 

Might want to diagnose it before spending money. The link explains how to test it. Regulators rarely fail.

 

So it should keep running even if the vent tube and filler aren't connected?

 

On your 2001, the link shows how to activate the fuel pump from the underhood fuse panel with the ignition OFF. The pump must remain activated when the jumper wire is installed.

 

Ok fellas I got her running good. Funny story I had the air intake off from putting gas into the throttlebody put that back on and boom she's running like a champ!!!

 

imagine that, it runs once its put back together..........
