Hi, today my Safari just cut out on me while I was driving. I towed it to Pep Boys and they said that I have no fuel pressure and not enough sparks. They said I need to replace the fuel pump, fuel filter, relay, air filter and get an oil change. The total cost would be $1133. That sounds crazy to me just to get it running again. They said I needed some other things too like a tune up and transmission service. Please help. I got the car in March and have been used by dealers before on other cars.

Ok here is the deal with this very troubling problem I am having. Astro Van '94 180,000 miles 2WD When I am at a speed in excess of 50mph this problem accurs. At any speed above 50MPH when I take my foot of the gas and the vehicle begins to slow down I get a low pitched rumbling sound that sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car. It also feels as though something it's holding the vehicle back and not letting it run as smoothly as normal. Once I hit 80MPH the vibration and sound is constant when my foot is on the gas. The sound and vibration only occurs for the first 5mph of decceleration. So if I am doing 70mph and take my foot off the gas I get a low pitched rumbling sound (rumbling, grinding, mechanical type sound), a slight vibration, and it feels as though the vehicle is hesitating. So far I have: Changed the universal joints. Checked the rearend and the fluid seemed good (I replaced it) and there was no metal shavings at all in the fluid, or on the magnet. Checked the trans, fluid seemed alittle burnt, replaced the fluid and fluid filter, gasket all that good stuff. Had the tires rebalanced. Problem is still there and I can't figure it out. Neither can anyone I have talked to already. Has anyone has this problem? Anyone have a clue as to what it is? Help.......

has anyone replaced the fuel pump in the tank? what is the procedure? any special tools? The van is not worth the money to have the dealership do it...so I must tackle it myself. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sean
