car dies

ok this has been happenin to me for the past few days.. its not getting any fuel b/c i cant smell it from the pipe.. the filter is good but i think its the pump.. it will turn over just not startin.. i can hear the fuel pump charge the system then stop but just b4 it stops it makes a winding down sound or sometimes it makes a clicking noise when it trys to start up.. what do yall think?

dr.gonzo! · August 7th, 2008, 03:47 PM

is it very hot you are?
I can still hear my pump on hot days my fuel pump straight up fails

chickenbot · August 7th, 2008, 03:47 PM

im in socal so its only like 80-85 during the day.. could it be a fuel reg that is goin out.. its still the stock one

1989Gt. · August 7th, 2008, 03:50 PM

its yoru pump.... cause it can still charge but it might not give enough fuel to your car for it to run... mine does the same thing... except mine gives enough for it to run then stal...

dr.gonzo! · August 7th, 2008, 03:51 PM

does it run fine at night when it cools off?

it used to do that too.. i would be drivin then as soon as i pushed in the clutch to slow down instead of goin to idle it just dies

1989Gt. · August 7th, 2008, 03:53 PM

yeah my bet is bad fuel pump cause mine did the same exact thing would be driving punch it it would lag then go.... and then slow down so yeah thats your best bet get a fuel gauge regulator and hook it up and check should be somewhere in the thirtys when idoling...

chickenbot · August 7th, 2008, 03:57 PM

well now i cant even get it started so i cant check it lol

1989Gt. · August 7th, 2008, 03:59 PM

ok listen turn your key so you hear the fuel pump work about 5-7 times then try and if not still then do it 7-10 lol if its about to start its your fuel pump

1989Gt. · August 7th, 2008, 03:59 PM

but dont turn your car on just the key for the fuel pump...

chickenbot · August 7th, 2008, 04:03 PM

ive tried that too and still nothin

chickenbot · August 7th, 2008, 04:04 PM

also if i need a new pump what kind do you recommend? im on limited funds.. Edelbrock 17931 - Edelbrock Mustang In-Tank Fuel Pumps - summitracing.com i was lookin at this one and should i get a new reg too?

1989Gt. · August 7th, 2008, 04:07 PM

depends on what your want if your going for performace get one with about 255 lph go to bbkperformance.com

1989Gt. · August 7th, 2008, 04:09 PM

i would just replace the whole setup cause you dont want to have to drop it again cause your going to find out its a pain in the ass how much gas do you have?

chickenbot · August 7th, 2008, 04:34 PM
