Ok so last night my car decided to take a dump on me, everything was running smoothly then when I came to a light and tried to accelerate my car started sputtering and went very slow no matter how much gas i tried giving it, after about 20 feet it just died. She still cranks over and it sounds like it sputters but doesnt fire up. I tried using my scanner to see if any codes came up but nothing, so my initial deduction is probably the fuel pump but i'm not ruling out the ignition system, any ideas what would cause it to do that before dying completely?

While you're at it trigger the fuel pump and see if it activates. When did you change your fuel filter last?

When did you change your fuel filter last? well i tested a new relay that proved not to be the problem so I'm gonna try pulling out the fuel pump now, anyone know a good place to relieve fuel pressure?? and truth be told the fuel filter is one thing i've never changed just because of how easy it is to bend the line connecting to it, I was planning on having a dealer do it so if they mess up its on them |
