frank b Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 My 97 lumina has been idling rough these last few days, but would accelerate fine once off of idle. I mean full throttle hauling tail acceleration. But it just broke down and I had to get it towed home. It won't start at all now. I haven't had time to check it out much, since I have to leave for work in a few minutes. I had checked for fault codes but there are none stored. I couldn't hear if the fuel pump was working with the road noise so I'll check that tomorrow. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank b Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 oh yeah, 3.1 and 150k or so. I break out the manual, voltmeter, and hammer in the morning and plug away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank b Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Fuel pump. I didn't mess with it at all after I got it towed home, or the next day. Then Sunday i went out and turned the key and no noise from the pump. Just to be sure I turned the key off, then back on, and i heard the pump! Started the engine and ran it for about ten minutes. Shut it down, went to start it again, no noise from the pump and no start. Pump has been ordered and should be here tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
