cardboard 0 Posted October 28, 2007 i was going round a round about yesterday when it felt like the car miss fired, no bang or anything just skipped a beat and now the fuel pump is very loud and it did the same thing again a few miles down the road(just had a power loss for a second) ? any ideas?

Albie 0 Posted October 28, 2007 What level of fuel did you have in the tank at the time? How old is your lift pump in the tank? If the outer main pump is suddenly noisy it could be being starved of fuel which could point to the lift pump not supplying it with enough to keep the reservoir full.

Supercharged 2 Posted October 28, 2007 Best not to ever let it get below the reserve, the lift pump will struggle and the fuel also helps reduce noise and disipate heat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cardboard 0 Posted October 28, 2007 so does this mean maybe the pump overheated? Or maybe airlocked? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
