You guys have always come through with the tough ones in the past, so let's get this one figured out. atriot:
So driving home from work in a new beater D1 I bought, with the AC on, the engine just dies while driving in traffic. Waited 3 or 4 minutes and it starts up runs for 3 or 4 minutes at idle (with AC on) and dies again.
I can tell that right before it dies the fuel pump turns off. It has been making a whine noise so I hear it shut down. When the pump stops the engine dies within a few seconds. The coolant temp is right where it should be.
I think right away it's the pump right?
I get it home put the pressure gauge on it and a solid 32. Of course I couldn't get the under hood temps up again in the cool of the evening. Now I can't make it fail, I guess it's just not hot enough under there.
It drove fine in 80 degree weather for 120 miles no stutters just a couple days ago.
I don't mind buying parts and putting in the time, I just want everones opinon on what the hell is causing this.
