here is a blunt explination of what happened. my car alarm went bad, so they put it into "program mode". which consists of turning the key on, off, on, off 5 times in a row. he did this when my car had roughly 1/8 tank of gas. the turns on and off were so fast, the car did not do more then initiate the fuel pump, then off, ect.
he did this cycle of on/off a total of 4 times. so 20 primes on and off. after i left, i got some gas. i noticed that the car started to feel like it would surge and lose power for a split second. today (the next time ive driven it since i took it home) it felt worse.
i tried to back the car onto some plastic ramps to look under it for any leaks, make sure my fuel filter is correct. as soon as the car hits the ramps and starts to change elevation, it cuts out HARD and either dies or nearly dies.
pump is a walbro 255, it primes fine. sounds about normal.. aka loud. filter orientation is right, nothing else was touched. so is my pump dying cause of this?
i talked to the shop owner, and he is saying it is not possible essentially unless it could not draw gas and ran dry. which is impossible seeing that i drove out of there..
