#1 of 3 fuel pump going out?? by jpkenney Jul 15, 2007 (2:13 pm)
I have a 1999 Saab 95, auto, 4 cylinder. I believe the fuel pump is going out. The car will sometimes stall at a stop light and when I stepped on the gas hard it sound/feels like it's stalling but gets going again!! I already checked the fuse, what else can it be? The car has of 100k on it and it's the original fuel pump. Replies to this message: jlamson (Aug 30, 2007 11:36 am) jat007 (May 08, 2009 4:23 am)

Replying to: jpkenney (Jul 15, 2007 2:13 pm) Fuel filter is the good place to start. However, your problem is due to a bad or leaky check valve. The check valve is located next to your fuel pump under the rear seat. Be very careful when inspecting this check valve or anytime working with the fuel pump, since you don't want to snap off any lines.
