I took the range to a car wash and after it was done I went about a block and stopped at a light. The second the car stopped completely it sputtered and died. It kept starting and dying. On like the 11th or twelfth try it ran for about forty five seconds and then died. After that it wouldn't turn over. Gave up and called a tow truck. I suspect the problem is the fuel pump or line but I have no experience with that. Looking for ideas on what it could be or if it is the fuel pump, how to fix it. Just had the alternator replaced, not looking to spend another 450 bucks if there's a cheaper solution. Thanks. 98 Range Rover SE 4L
Odds are it just needs to dry out...many vehicles when thoroughly wet will display a rough idle or stall. while at the car wash its possible several electrical components got wet causing electrical current to stray from its desired path leading to loss of power to vital components...if this is the case the moisture that caused this problem should evaporate with time
Thanks for your time. It still didn't start and the mechanic said the fuel pump is bad. Do you know where I can get a cheap one? He quoted 700 bucks with labor. I was looking online and the ones I see are not for the 98.
Also will a 4.4L pump fit a regular 4L range?

sounds like a fuel pump failure,check the fuel line pressure with a gauge ,on the fuel delivery pipe where the injectors are their is a valve like a tyre valve ,you should read 55lbs here for it to work properly.

Hello. The GMC Sierra has an electric fuel pump so you should ensure that its fuses and relays are working before checking it. You may need to clean your fuel pump or replace it if your gas tank is not empty, but your vehicle has difficulty getting fuel. The GMC Sierra comes in a variety of styles and trim levels that can affect the replacement fuel pump you choose.

You need to get a digtal voltage meter (about $15) and check it out yourself-readings at the battery should be 12.5 volts after sitting overnight. Once you start it, the readings at the battery terminals should go up to almost 15 volts when first started, then gradually drop down to around 14.2 volts-I would bet either your battery is bad, or your battery is bad and your alternator has failed trying to supply power to a bad battery-either way, your mechanic should not have allowed the battery light to stay on after changing out the alternator without finding out what was wrong-he did not fix it.
Fuel injectors may be dirty.. or plugged.
The car just sitting there may have caused the gas to go bad which may have
given them a head start on plugging from the get go. Get some cleaner for it.
When the dash lights blink, is it unlike anything you've seen it do before?
