What does it mean when your fuel pump stops?

Engine Stops. The engine may start for a moment or two and then abruptly stop without ever leaving the driveway. This may be due to a lack of continual fuel feed from the gas tank. This indicates a problem with the fuel filter, fuel pump or fuel relay.

What to do if your fuel pump relay stops working?

Connect one lead to one of the power circuit pins, and connect the other lead to the other power terminal. If you hear a beeping sound, your fuel pump relay’s power pins have shorted. Replace the relay. You can test the fuel pump relay, along with many other parts in your car, with the cheap and handy multimeter. (Photo Source: carcody)
