My 03 is sitting in my driveway unable to start. August of last year my original fuel pump died at 120,000. I replaced it with a remaned one I got at a local auto parts store. In January it went again. I thought ok, I tried to save a buck and it backfired. I order an Airtex off Amazon and put it in first week of Feb. It just went out again. All week when I would give it gas it would hesitate for 5-10 seconds and then BOOM, it takes off. Tuesday it would not start so I banged on the tank and it fired up. Yesterday it wouldn't start and even with the banging it will not start. Checked the little yellow 20amp fuse under the hood and it's good. What should I check to make sure something else isn't going wrong before I spend another $260 on another pump only to get another 5 months out of it. Any suggestions?

 

When you buy the new pump get AC/Delco or Delphi instead of the aftermarket crap. We have been recommending these two brands on the forum for a good reason.

 

its that cheap pump. Get on rock auto,order the ac delco pump. its about 250.00... you wont have this issue again.

 

^This... And check your grounds!

 

make sure tank doesnt have junk in it "rust". Airtex isn't that great and is what parts stores carry. At least i know Autozone does
