215k miles
Hoping somebody can help here.
Car started and ran just fine this morning when I moved it out of the driveway for the lawncare people.
Went to run an errand 3 hours later and it wouldn't start. Cranked just fine, and acted like it wanted to start.
Jumpered the relay socket on terminals 30 & 87. Could hear fuel pump running but still no start.
Replaced fuel filter. Jumpered the relay again and was able to get it to turn over once and it ran for a few seconds. Couldn't get it to start again.
At this point, I'm wondering about the fuel pump (original) based on the age and mileage on the car. I imagine it is possible for the pump to sound like it is running but not generate enough fuel pressure.
Has any body else had this problem or something like it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
