Fuel pump, fuel filter, or is it my alternator??
Friday, May 25, 2012 5:22 AM
So im wondering if i need to change either my filter or pump?

The car turns over and i can rev it quick then it dies. So it seems like its not getting gas.

It has been sitting for a few months so im wondering if the pump or filter is all gummed up.

I'm also wondering if it may be my alternator because that thing was winding like a bastard before the car stopped.

What year and engine? Any dtc or theft deterrant lights on or flashing? any recent work done on the car?

think you can rule out alternator for causing a start then stall condition.

you wouldnt be able to keep starting it if the pump was bad...it wouldnt be able to prime the lines to turn over the engine.
you might want to check your plugs and your fuel filter, those are two common faulty items for a car thats been in storage.
hopefully you didnt get water/condensation in the fuel tank too. if its been sitting, might not be a bad idea when its up and running again to run a bottle of water remover in your fuel tank.
