Also check and see if your coolant is full. You maybe low causing it to over heat. If its low, have it pressure tested and checked for leaks. Let me know what you find

I took my car to the shop because gas would not pump nothing over $1.00. I was told the gas pump needed to be replaced. I paid $590.00 and the problem still continues on. I do not know what the problem can be.

I wonder if your mechanic was confused, as I was at first. When you mentioned the $1.00, I figured out you mean you cannot put gas in at the gas station, not that the fuel pump is not pumping gas to the engine.

The filling problem is related to the roll-over valve in the filler tube. Generally this is solved by replacing the tube. The valve is not available separately for most cars.

If it is any consolation, your old fuel pump had exceeded probably three quarters of its typical life expectancy, so while replacing it did not solve the immediate problem, the new pump might save you from sitting on the side of the road next winter!

Yes, that is the tube that goes into the tank. The check valve is at the end of it in the tank.

I recently had my fuel pump and filter replaced because my car was not starting. The daignostic said that is what was bad, but it has only been two weeks since then and now the car won't start again and it is acting the same way it was before the pump was replaced, what else could it be?

Has the check engine light come on? Also, have the new pump checked. It may be bad. There is also a fuel pump relay under the hood of the car that could cause the problem.

I would call the person who did the work and tell them it is doing the same thing again and have them check the fuel pump pressure and regulator.

Is your thief detection light flashing? If it is try resetting your computer and your car will start. This was my problem. My fuel pump went out and I changed it but my car still would not start. I found out that my thief light was flashing and this was my solution to my problem. Look up thief detection light for answer to resetting it.

Turn the key off, crank the starter and let it sit. Watch the security light blink and wait for it to go out. When it does turn the key off, and then try to start it. This should reset it

I am not able to start my car. I was told that it is the fuel pump. Basically every other 3 months I am coming out of my pocket with $300 or more. I need my car fix so that I can sell it and get a good price.
