    My pile shut off on my today.

    My car saw a good share of its down time replacing/upgrading/fixing stuff. So she was all good and ready and ive been driving it for like a week now. Just filled up my second full tank since i started driving it. This morning i was headed to work and im cruising at like 80 when i feel it just start slowing like i let off the gas pedal. I'm in the fast lane so i put the hazards on, cross the double yellow then to the center divider. as im crossing through the carpool lane the car shut off.

    It turns over and coughs like it wants to start but just never makes it there. i feel like its not getting fuel. So before i start getting into it i thought i'd see what you guys have to say. I hope its not the pump. the one in it has been in the car a while but doesnt not have many miles on it.

    What do you think?

    Got gas? The gauges are notorious liars. If not that I'm going to say fuel pump fr relay, or the cps.

      The tank is so full when i pulled out the pump to make sure there wasnt anything on the sock it was spilling out. The tank is as full as i can get it.

      I need to get a new relay to test out and then after that ill check the cps.

          i let it sit over night and i tried starting it and i got nothing, it just cranks over.

          Does the fuel pump always run? I checked it with my DMM and im getting power to the pump but its not turning on. I know that sometimes i would hear it and sometimes i wouldnt.

          Would the pump go bad from just sitting there?
