Me_qwkr is infamous around these parts
if they already replaced it then why would it be the fuel pump that makes NO sense at all.

I guess that could be a case of "lightning striking the same place twice" but I have to wonder; TWO bad fuel pumps in a row? Was/is there any schmutz in the fuel filters? Did they change these as well? I sure hope so.......

to my knowledge they checked the fuel pressure throught the system and it was totally fine..just seems that the pump went bad... All i can think is that lighting struck twice for me thats normal...its when it stricks a third and fourth that scares me

sorry bro...that sux.

good luck with the next one.

You have to ask...why is the pump failing is it pumping against a higher resistance...kinda like cor pulmonale.

its probably the sending unit.... mine went bad too but they repalced the pump and my car was stalled again 2 miles up the road from the dealer.
