mayo

When out to start her up this morning and she would turn over, chug a couple of times and die. Feels like no gas is being delivered, so I am guessing it could be a fuel filter problem. Just got back from a trip to indiana from brenspeed, but have drove her since my return with no problems to date.
Checked fuel pump fuse and its fine...any suggestions would be apprieciated. What can I say but i'm at a loss for words, just sunk a grand in her for a gear/udp swap and was gave a clean bill of health at brenspeed and now this

Check out the fuel pump to make sure it isn't bad. Maybe you got some bad gas? Have you filled your tank lately?

I can hear the buzz of the pump when I turn the key, so I would say its working. Got gas on the way home from ind and have run 3/4 of a tank with no problems. Just checked and no codes thrown.

You can drive 3/4 of a tank out, the water separates to the top and when your fuel is close to being empty it could cause what your car is doing. Try taking the fuel line off and see if there is water in it. If you haven't had any problems until after you filled up.....you most likely got bad gas. Before thinking anything bad has gone wrong you can drain the gas out and get some fresh gas.

Thanks for the help bro. Probably right on the bad gas (I hope). Got a new filter and am gonna drain out the remaining and put in some fresh and give it a shot.

Hope that is what the problem is. It always sucks when you go to start your car and it won't start. We have tendencies to think the worst when in all it could just be bad gas. Let us know how it turns out.

You may want to spray a little starting fluid into the air intake, if it starts and runs as long as you spay, you have a fuel prob. or a loose vacuum line. I think mustang0672 is right, you prob have water or other crap in the fuel, I usually try to find a way to pinpoint a prob before moving too far ahead.

yep, I believe I got sum crap gas. Pressure was good on the filter when I removed it and I did finally start, once the weather warmed up but smells like ***.
Question...how the f**k do you drain the remaining gas out of the cell. Tried to run a hose off the back end of filter and plug the pump fuse back in but nothing...anyone plz.

Disconnect fuel line to a bucket and start fuel pump?
