Relay for electric fuel pump failed and needed replacement. The fuel pump didn’t fail while the vehicle was running. Rather, it had been giving problems starting. Once running it was usually fine. Eventually it would not start at all, and I had to get it towed from home to the dealership. There were no codes or other clues, but of course an electrical test was able to isolate the problem to the fuel pump relay. |
