You can't be serious The Chinese junk they are selling in the discount parts stores now have failure rates approaching 50% in the first 90 days. Of course we can't diagnose your car over the Internet. You need to use a fuel pressure gauge and a test light to diagnose it properly but it's not a surprise that banging on the back of the car would jump start a stuck fuel pump. Now you have to verify that is what you have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. wolfpack User Nov 5, 2011, 3:44 PM Post #5 of 7 (1459 views) Re: fuel pump Sign In ok that i can remember. so a bosch fuel pump is in that catogorie cause the fuel pump i replaced was a bosch and it was an original part i bought the car new in 95 so i put a bosch back in. i thought it was funny that all i had to do was push on the trunk and it started thanks for your time i think im just going to sell the car Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 5, 2011, 3:45 PM Post #6 of 7 (1459 views) Re: fuel pump Sign In The fuel pump inertia switch is also in the trunk. You might want to be sure you have power to the pump when the car doesn't want to start too. Yep, gotta watch out. Seen a few name brand boxes with cheap Chinese knock off parts in them. Our shop usually stays with the OEM pumps. Motorcraft for Fords. You may pay a little more or the same, but better quality. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. wolfpack User Dec 9, 2011, 9:29 AM Post #7 of 7 (1389 views) Re: fuel pump Sign In thank you all for your help it was a loose connection at the fuel pump rechecked and used pliers to tighten the connections to the pump alls good in cougarville "Thanks Again"   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
