During my lunch break I went to get gas and noticed the "Service Engine Soon" light. I am at work so I can't use a jumper to get the codes, but I think its the fuel pump. All of my sound insulation has been taken out so when I turn the ignition I can hear the fuel pump activate, I don't hear it now. I went to the trunk to push the reset button but its already depressed. I disconnected power to the reset relay and will try going back in a few to reconnect and see if I can reset. Anyone have any ideas? I work about 35mls away from home, if my fuel pump is not operational will I get home?

Thanks

Ok - never mind - just checked and still reset button has not popped but I am able to hear the fuel pump activate - must be something else. I was installing a torque arm last night and removed the exhaust - hope its an O2 sensor

usually, if a fuel pump has a problem, it doesn't work at all. that means the car ain't goin nowhere with a bad fuel pump unless you push it.
