So the other week I had low fuel, went around a turn then lost gas pressure. Then a week later, I go to drive it and all I get is cranking. When I sprayed starting fluid it turned over for roughly 30 seconds.
Looking over other questions, it sounds as if I blew the first fuel pump, then ran the second one into the ground after a week. I opened the trunk up. And starting something the lines for the pump on top.
Then with out fail a neighbor out and started telling me that it's probably not the pump because when I turn it on the pump does work to fill the rails. I guess my question is, can the pump still be shot if it's working to fill the lines, and should I just put ear plugs in when the neighbor talks lol. Any help would be appreciated. I'd love to have Santa bring me the gift of a running engine sat or Sunday.
