Dead or dying fuel pump or electrical connections maybe bad.

Where are you located?

thankful for this forum and all the people on here for the help...saves me alot of money that i can do on my own since wrenching vehicles has become my favorite thing to do since shops now days would charge me $1200 to change out my waterpump

I figured you were from Hawaiʻi, not sure where though.

I too have saved a bunch of money and time posting questions here.

I am sending you Hawaiian rep points for this thread!

I am also glad to see new Hawaiʻi action here, go and check out

the FTE Hawaiʻi Chapter when you have time.
