Sounds like fuel pump is on its way out. Lower fuel level, or even a good hot day in the sun, may also affect how far you get. With more fuel in tank, it takes longer for it to heat up and start acting up. You'll probably have proper ( or close to it ) fuel pressure in the morning because vehicle, gas & pump are cool, then as you use it, it heats up, and doesn't pump up to pressure, which would be a good time to have fuel pressure tested to be 100% sure. You may get a few more miles out of it by changing filter, but no guarantee's.

2002 325xi need help to trouble shoot

it sounds like low fuel pressure. Change fuel filter first then fuel pump if that fails. Misfire could be a coil pack and may not be related.

Multiple codes on 2002 dodge durango

This many codes sounds like a wiring issue. You need to inspect all the wiring. If you have rabbits in your area, they eat wires. If not then it is likely to be a corroded or loose ground. You need to get a wiring diagram etc.

Multiple engine codes 2002 tribute. p0171, p0174, p0300, p1401

I doubt it.
Codes 171 and 174 are for lean fuel mixtures, 300 is for random missfires which could be fuel or ignition related, and 1401 is for a problem with the EGR valve system. Now the EGR could cause the other codes if the valve is open or leaking when it should be closed.
The EGR valve and sensor would need to be tested first.

Chrysler Crossfire will crank but not start. It starts fine when it's cold, but after driving around or making multiple stops, it will not start again. I have already changed the fuel pump relay

You can check codes on these without a scan tool ! surprised your mechanic doesn't know this ! Put the key in the ingition , turn it on then off , then on , then off then on again an leave it on . Then look at where the odometer is , will show P codes .

Bought my car today has 138000 miles, all of a sudden engine light came on.. Car is running, shifting and driving fine. Oil , trans and coolant is good.. What is goingon? Help!!

Most likely a o2 sensor ,lean,or rich,a code reader will have to be put on the obd2 connector to read the codes to tell what the code is,if it is a lean indication ,o2 sensor,try replacing the fuel filter.

Remove the serpentine belt by using a breakover bar, rachet or serpentine belt removal tool with the correct size socket for the pulley mounting bolt. Rotate tensioner arm to release tension. Remove the belt.

Hope helped with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

2002 dodge caravan car dies

You need to get it scanned to see what those codes are. Autozone, Pep Boys and other big autoparts stores will usually scan for free. If codes don't tell you what is obviously wrong, get back to us with them & we'll help you out.
