Volvo will not start, no fuel pump sound

I was drive down the highway and the car started to shut down. I pullled over and tried to restart the car. It just about started a number of times but would not keep going. I think it is the fuel pump because I no longer hear it working before I start the car. The car will not try to start anymore. To repair the fuel pump must I remove the gas tank? Thanks

You should hear a hum from the gas tank when u turn the key to on for about 5 seconds, if not the pump is most likely bad, to replace the pump u must remove the fuel tank, remember to replace the fuel filter when u do the pump.

Thunderbird Starts Fine and after say 25 min drive on the highway. pull into lets say walmart run in back out and the car struggles to start bucking and such and usually stalls and wont start.. after it...

Sounds as if you are experiencing early stages of fuel pump failure. The pump motor is getting "hot" during the 25 minute drive. After you shut the car off and try to restart it,the pump is weak and not getting the fuel pressure up enough to allow for a quick start and smooth running. I would check the bleed down time on the fuel system and the pressure to see what it is before and after the 25 minute drive time.

I have a 1988 Dodge Dynasty that acts like it's vapor locking.

yes fuel pump is dying (it's old ) it will finnaly give up the ghost some day soon then engine won't run at all

common problem pump heats up and shuts off cools off and runs again cyclic

this all assumes you have kept up on changing the fuel filter at reg intervals too

1993 Volvo 850 wont start...help?!

It sounds like your fuel pump is having a problem with getting the last of the fuel from your tank. The pump also has a strainer on it. The unfortunate reality with the 1993 Volvo 850 is that the pump and strainer are located inside of your gas tank. You can look for kinks or pinched areas in the line but from your description it sounds like the pump is going. It has to work much harder when the fuel is low in the tank.
