birthday blues

[jhli]

On my way to work today and the festy gave me my bday gift. Just stopped on the ramp by my house. Still having a fuel prob. Rent is got to be paid this week. So I am going to have to drive the burben to work till we git some money.

That'll attack your wallet... Going from a Festiva to a Suburban. Hope you get it figured out soon! Good thing that fuel system stuff is usually pretty easy to do.

I got a ebay fuel pump for $22 shipped.

Well, sorry to hear about the woes.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks. I just changed the pump and filter. I think it could be a relay. There is a tic under the dash that started before I changed the pump out.

The main relay,the fuel pump relay and the links all sit between the pump and the battery. The air flow box turns it all on, BUT hey, Happy Birthday, hope you had fun anyway. Big chevy's are fun to drive , I like to save mine for special occasions too.

So the burben has stopped working. No start. Lot of cranking. No starting.

Don't buy any lottery tickets for the next month and a half.

Kick the gas tank while someone tries to start it. Is it cold enough water could have frozen in the gas lines?

[Movin]

Dump the fuel into a glass from the fuel filter and check it out.Turn the key on briefly to see if fuel comes out. If the pump is working put the filter back in and pour the gas into the intake and see if it fires. Assuming not a diesel and is injected.
