Hi, car in question is listed above (yes that's six thousand) miles. Was running the other day, but now I'm told it has "no pressure in the fuel lines".
What could most likely be the problem? With such low miles could it be a big problem?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Wow, you don't see a vehicle from that year with such low mileage. The most likely cause here is going to be the fuel pump, or the wiring going to the fuel pump. An easy way to check to see if your vehicle's fuel pump is working is to have a helper turn the ignition key to "run" while you stand in the back with an ear up to the fuel tank. The fuel pump should come on for a couple of seconds to prime the system. Please get back to us with what you find out, and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
