On a bosh fuel pump (3 tit) does it cut out if it cannot get fuel?? I realize if it is intermittant it is probably a loose connection, loose or bad relay, loose pin on board, or dirty fuse on board, etc.
i am at work, and i am not so sure i will make it home tonight, i have a few tools, but no electrical stuff with me. i was wondering .... what would the pump do with good power and a clogged line?? i made it half way to work and the pump cut out 3 times within 1 min, then dead. i pulled over checked the pump and all connections tight. i tried to start it 4-5 times, heard the pump run for 1 sec then dead. crawled under and shook the filtre and banged on the pump. it started but would not idle. i then loosend the clamp holding the pump and turned it upside down. car started and kept strong at high idle but started to choke below 3500 rpm. I risked the drive into work, and made it idling between 3500 and 4500, it would start to cut out and i would downshift jump the rpm and it was ok again. welcome to my life |

The regulator is pretty simple...this happened to me..it was the pump.
The pumps just die after a long life.... If you hold the flapper door open the pump will continue to run... Car can be not running and the fuel pump will run fine till you let go of the door. No jumper needed. You could put a fuel pressure gauge in place of the regulator and watch the gauge while the pump runs for 5 minutes straight...see if it looses pressure. Without the regulator expect higher than normal pressure, but it should be fine if all your lines are in good shape. Rich |
