You need to look at your fuel pump it does not pump to specification when it gets hot. You might just have to replace it. Good luck

On a 1997 Dodge Ram Van, the relays that are located on the firewall are likely to include:

• Fuel pump relay
• Headlight relay
• Horn relay
• AC compressor relay
• Engine control relay
• Automatic shut down relay (ASD)

These relays are responsible for controlling various electrical components on the van, such as the fuel pump, headlight, horn, and AC compressor. The specific location of these relays on the firewall may vary depending on the model and trim of the van.
If you are having an issue with one of the relays on the firewall of your 1997 Dodge Ram Van, it is recommended to consult the service manual or a mechanic to determine which relay is causing the problem and how to fix it.

Did you clean the tank when replacing the fuel pump? Not cleaning the tank is the #1 cause or repeat fuel pump failures.

Hi from my experience

On modern cars there is a fuel cut off switch which in the event of a collision cuts the fuel off to help prevent spillage and cut engine out.

Some vehicles they are resettable, normally under the bonnet mounted on the bulk head, they vary in shape and size, but the ones ive come across are black square body mainly until they get to the top of the switch they go round in shape and there is a rubber cover on top, and the rubber has a slight depression which you press down on to reset the switch.

Normally this is enough to get the vehicle started if not you might have damage the fuel pump/fuel cut off switch relay's

Hope this helps.

always check your fuel filter first they usually go before the pump does

Hi there:The fuel pump shut-off switch stops the fuel pump when the vehicle has been involved in a collision or major jolt. If the vehicle does not start, it is possible that the fuel pump shut-off switch needs to be reset.

If you see or smell fuel, do not reset the switch or try to start your vehicle. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and call the local fire department or a towing service. This and other details could be find in the Ford Escort Owners Manual...
