#1993 of 4944 Is my fuel pump bad??? by 2me Sep 09, 2005 (6:48 am)
it's a 95 neon 5 speed. A week ago it ran great. it will start and idle perfectly but as soon as you press the gas it "blub, blub, blubs" like a motorcycle with the choke left on. If you let off the gas it goes back to idle. I replaced the fuel pump and it was no better. If you pump the peddle quickly you can achieve the higher RPM's. There is no smoke coming out and the oil is clear and clean. There is the oft mentioned oil in the spark plug tube in one of the cylinders but it looks like it has been there for a while. The head was redone a year ago. Replies to this message: qbrozen (Sep 09, 2005 7:38 am) 2me (Sep 09, 2005 8:36 am) qbrozen (Sep 09, 2005 8:52 am) and 6 more...

Replying to: 2me (Sep 09, 2005 8:36 am) well, i'm sure someone else will have better info, but i think it could be any numbers of things. bad or clogged injectors or any one of many sensors has failed are just 2 thoughts.

Replying to: qbrozen (Sep 09, 2005 8:52 am) will any or all of these things show up scanning the cars computer? The check engine light is on but I will have to rent a scanner to check it sense it does not run well enough to drive.

Replying to: 2me (Sep 09, 2005 9:42 am) a bad sensor will usually trip the check engine light. Replies to this message: 2me (Sep 09, 2005 9:46 am) qbrozen (Sep 09, 2005 11:14 am) 2me (Sep 10, 2005 5:38 am) alcan (Sep 11, 2005 12:41 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Sep 09, 2005 9:43 am) one person at autozone suggested that I disconnect the fuel filter and have someone turn the ignition key on and see if there is a steady constant small stream of fuel coming out or is it sputtering or intermittent. He said this will diagnose the fuel pump itself. what do you think? Replies to this message: qbrozen (Sep 09, 2005 11:14 am) 2me (Sep 10, 2005 5:38 am) alcan (Sep 11, 2005 12:41 am)

Replying to: 2me (Sep 09, 2005 9:46 am) well, sure, but if its idling fine, then you'll obviously see gas coming out. Replies to this message: 2me (Sep 10, 2005 5:38 am)
