In a completely different direction - look under your dash and make sure all the plug connectors are in place and snug.
A year ago I hit a big pot hole and everything stopped immediately. Since I was on a major highway at rush hour, I had it flatbedded to a local shop where the owner said - I can fix this in 15 secs. He ran his hand under the dash, found the loose connection, popped it back in and the car fired right up. |
Thanks guys
Right now I have electric to everything and I can hear the pump running but I am getting zero fuel out of the accumulator. Not even a drop. If the pump was obstructed I should be getting a little gas out of it |
the pump can fail (not pumping) anytime. At this point, remove the pump and bench check it or just replace it. I know they should last forever but, well, it's a mechanical part, subject to failing at any time.

Crack the incoming line and make sure fuel is getting to the pump now.

FWIW, I once jumpered my DME to find out if my pump was causing a "no-start" issue. Once jumpered, I could clearly hear the pump "running", but was not getting fuel to the throttle body.
I went ahead and replaced the pump anyways, which solved the problem. Just because you can hear the pump motor whirr, doesn't necessarily mean that the pump is doing it's job. |
I will check the line to the pump when I pull the pump Monday. It says it is has a 24 month warranty and it is well under that. I bought it at Pelican but I have never had to warranty anything with them before.

It was a failure of the fuel pump.
I had just installed a new Bosch fuel pump 8 months ago and it failed without warning. I couldn't believe that it would be the pump but after I eliminated everything else it was the new pump. Pelican says it is warranting the pump. What a pain in the a$$ Thanks for the input Steve |
When you lift the air sensor, does it make a screeching sound from hell?

That's actually good news, Steve. Pretty simple fix, but I realize it's a pain in the azz to replace something that should be rock steady when new. Life happens.
