I was driving home from work tonight and my s52 swapped e30 shut off while going about 50 mph. Slight stumble and immediately shut off, like I was getting no fuel. So I pulled over and tried to crank her back up but can't get it to crank. All electrical systems are working fine, starter is turning over strong but no fire. Battery is good, alternator is newish and seems to work fine. Just put 20 bucks in gas in the tank from empty today and drove about 20 miles, restarting the car fine with no issues several times. The car acts just as it would if it were out of gas.
Im thinking it is probably the fuel pump. I cant hear the fuel pump turn on with the key in theu aux position, but then again I normally don't hear it in this car like I do in many others I have driven or just haven't paid attention to it. Or maybe not getting spark for some reason? Any ideas on what could be causing me to lose spark?
A friend is taking it to my house in the morning on his flatbed so I can try and diagnose the problem. Planning on taking the back seat out and having somebody back there to try and listen for the fuel pump. Any other suggestions on what the culprit may be, or tests to diagnose the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated
