Went to the store today and the car was running fine. When I was goin to leave it only started for about 5 seconds then sputtered out. My gas guage showed a little below 1/4 tank, so I called my friend and had him bring me some gas. Put 5 gallons in, gauge shwed 1/2 tank, but car still didn't start. I didn't notice it at the time because I wasn't in the greatest of moods but I never once heard the fuel pump prime.
Had the car towed home and I checked for fuel pressure by pressing in the schrader valve by the alt. with a screwdriver. Nothing came out, didn't even hear a hiss of air. I just put a new 1 over summer, but is it possible that something came out of the tank and clogged the fuel filter? Would this cause the pump to see pressure and not prime the system? I checked the inertia switch and it's fine.
I think I mentioned pretty much everything that needs to be said. I'm on spring break till sunday and NEED the car back on the road before then. Thanks
