So, was curious as to what are the typical symptoms when a fuel pump begins to fail OR fails all-together (other than the obvious) AND how does this differ from a failed or failing regulator ? I ask b/c i thought i had a failed fuel pump last week, when engine suddenly would not start at all, but eventually did. It did this off and on several times as if NO fuel was getting delivered. -john > The pressure is really determined by the pressure regulator as long as the > flow id close.
