Hello, You may have tripped the Inertia sensor. Depending on what you are driving, the Inertia sensor can be in the left quarterpanel in the trunk or cargo area. This usually means Crown Vics, Taurus, Expedition, and some Mustangs. If you have a Truck or Van it can be under the dash on the Passengers kickpanel area. All that is needed is to press and hold a reset button on it for a second or 2 and your fuelpump will work again.

It can also be found around the drivers kickpanel. You can ask an Autoparts store the location which will be faster than usuing the Internet. If your car or truck is older than fuel injection models you are probably doing the right thing with the fuel filter.

If you do not have luck with the fuel you need to check for spark.

94 dodge dakota 2.5l no fuel to throtle body

If you are not getting fuel to the throttle body, there could be a few potential causes. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Fuel Filter: Check to see if the fuel filter is clogged. If it is clogged, it could prevent fuel from getting to the throttle body.
  2. Fuel Pump Relay: Make sure the fuel pump relay is functioning properly. If the relay is not sending power to the fuel pump, it won't run and fuel won't be delivered to the engine.
  3. Fuel Pressure: Check the fuel pressure at the throttle body. If the pressure is low or nonexistent, it could indicate a problem with the fuel pump or a clog in the fuel lines.
  4. Check Valve: The check valve on the fuel pump could be stuck or malfunctioning, causing a lack of fuel flow.
  5. Vent on Tank: A clogged or faulty vent on the fuel tank can cause fuel starvation as the engine tries to suck fuel from the tank but can't due to the lack of air flow.
It's also possible that there could be an issue with the fuel injectors or the throttle body itself, but these are less common causes of a lack of fuel to the engine. It's recommended to have a mechanic diagnose the issue if you are unable to identify the problem yourself.

03 artic cat fire cat 700 efi snowmobile. Fuel pump whines very loudly and when driving engine bogs down and loses power? Any ideas as to why this is occurring?

The symptoms you're describing could be caused by a few different issues, but given the fact that you mentioned the fuel pump whining loudly, it's possible that the fuel pump is failing or not providing enough fuel pressure to the engine.
Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine and cause similar symptoms. Check the fuel filter and replace it if it's dirty or clogged.
  2. Check the fuel lines: Make sure that the fuel lines are not kinked or damaged and that there are no leaks. A damaged fuel line can cause a loss of fuel pressure and lead to a bogged down engine.
  3. Check the fuel pump: If the fuel pump is whining loudly, it may be failing. Check the fuel pressure with a gauge to see if it's within the manufacturer's specifications. If it's not, then the fuel pump may need to be replaced.
  4. Check the spark plugs: Make sure the spark plugs are in good condition and properly gapped. Fouled or worn spark plugs can cause a loss of power and bogging down of the engine.
If you're not comfortable performing these checks yourself, it's best to take the snowmobile to a qualified mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue. text me on Whatsapp +233557248347

I own a 2000 mercury cougar. it has a problem that I dont kno anything about. it starts driving and dies. first it drives normally and then it dies. people in car shop told me that its a dead alternator....

Replace the fuel filter with a new one, see if it solves your problem, then I would have the fuel pressure tested to see if the fuel pump is faulty. Some times they will run, but won't hold enough pressure to run an engine at speed. Or you could just get a new pump and replace it, so at least you can rule it out as the culprit.

My 1999 gmc sierra was hesitating going was told to do a tune up changed plugs and wires air filter changed oil on my way home that day noticed it was running rough when stopped at red lights dont kno

Is the vehicle running rougher since the tune up and such ? Is it worse since fuel filter change ? Was there any change good or bad since the work was done ? Is the fuel line leaking gas ? Do you remeber what code AutoZone came up with ? I'm just trying to get all the correct information so I can give you the best guess as far as what your problem could be. Also what size engine do you have ? Reply/comment here or you can email me directly at [email protected]. I don't mind helping if I can and there is no cost but as I said need as much info as I can.

It cranks up for about five seconds then cuts off i thought it was the fuel pump but i was told to check the fuel filter

A clogged fuel filter can cause this yes, but, please know a working fuel pump without enough pressure can also cause this. I recommend checking fuel filter n change if necessary, see how that goes but a dirty or bad fuel filter is just a testimony of how much work the fuel pump has been doing, so a fuel pump pressure test is something u should consider also. Other causes of such symptons are vacuum leaks from gasket surfaces of the manifold and throttle body. Check mounting bolts to be sure none are missing and they are all tighteed as should be. Hope this helps.

Car died in front of house, would crank, but not start...fuel pump has been buzzing for a while so i assumed it went out, replaced pump & filter, sadly cant get it to start. checked all fuses, relays...

No pressure at fuel rail either mean a clog in the fuel lines or filter...or a failed or incorrectly installed pump. If you have voltage at the pump when you are cranking the engine over recheck pump and fuel filter. also try applying shop are to the fuel lines when disconnecting at pump and fuel rail to clear any clogs.
