Question edited for a lot more clarity. 'lose' and 'loose' are two different words and your space bar appears to be broken. :>D
So it seems the car is running on the fumes of the throttle body cleaner, yes? Did you disconnect the battery when you changed the fuel pump? Did you reset the ant-theft and immobilizer?
If the throttle body is the issue, remove it and clean it properly both sides so it opens and closes easily..
As long as the car is running fine it's safe to say the fuel pump does not need to be replaced. However the fuel tank sending unit may need to be replaced assuming the fuel gauge itself isn't at fault. First check your owners manual if available for your fuse block info and check fuses then I'd look into the sending unit. Let me know if you need help with that
Not bad as long as the fuel level is low, you will need to drop the fuel tank and remove the sending unit, the pump is part of the sending unit,to remove the unit remove the top lock ring, this is a plastic ring on top of the tank that hold the unit , hope this helps,
Fuel Pump: Service and Repair WARNING: The fuel system is under constant pressure, even when the engine is OFF. Always release fuel pressure before servicing any fuel system component. FUEL PUMP REMOVAL 1. Release fuel system pressure. 2. Fuel tank must be removed prior to fuel pump service. 3. Using a hammer and a brass drift, carefully tap the fuel pump lock-ring counter-clockwise to release the fuel pump. 4. Remove the fuel pump and its O-ring from the fuel tank, and discard the old O-ring. 5. Cover tank openings to prevent dirt from entering system. FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT REMOVAL 1. Gently bend the sending unit locking tabs away from the sending unit. 2. Remove the electrical connector cover (red). Remove the sending unit wires from the electrical connector. 3. Use one screwdriver to push on the fuel pump body, and use another to release the sending unit locking tab from the sending unit. 4. Slide the sending unit assembly off of the fuel pump reservoir housing. 5. Pull the wires through the reservoir body and fuel pump cover plate. FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT INSTALLATION 1. Bend the sending unit wires and lay them into the slot on the back of the sending unit. 2. Slide the sending unit into the slots on the fuel pump reservoir body. Slide the wires through the triangle shaped hole in the fuel pump reservoir body. Check that the tab in the fuel sending unit locks into the detent in the fuel pump reservoir body. 3. Slip the wires onto the tab of the fuel pump reservoir body. 4. Slide the sending unit wire terminals into the electrical connector. Install the terminal locking cover. 5. Slide the fuel sending unit electrical connector into the bottom of the fuel pump electrical connector. Check that the connectors are securely attached and fully pushed into each other. FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION 1. Wipe seal area of tank clean, and install a new O-ring seal on pump. 2. Position fuel pump module in tank and secure with the lock-ring. 3. Using a hammer and a brass drift, carefully tap the fuel pump lock-ring clockwise to lock the module in place. NOTE: Do not overtighten the lock-ring, because the fuel pump seal could split and leak. 4. Install fuel tank assembly. NOTE: ASD and fuel pump relays remain energized for 7 minutes during the following test, unless the test is stopped or the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. 5. Using scan tool, place ignition switch in "RUN" position and use Actuate Output Test "Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay", to activate fuel pump and pressurize system. 6. Check for leaks.
I think you should probably rebuild the throttle body if you have not. Over time, some serious **** can build up in the body and also, the gaskets can shrink due to age which can cause fuel blockages in the body its self.
After you dump the fuel in the throttle body it will continue to run on its own or die as soon as it burns up all the fuel you dump in? Do you have access to (Noid lights)? Are both plugs attached to the distributor?
try replacing your relay first not that expensive and easy to change also some models have a red jumper wire on the relay plug that sends power directly to pump
