What made you suspect the fuel pump? How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Generally, with engine cranking, I want to check spark at the spark plugs, if spark everywhere, use a gauge and check proper fuel pressure. I also want you to check fuel injector pulse. Is there an rpm signal?

Hi ANDY LEE,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself as JDL suggested, here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,
