Fuel issue?
Fuel issue?
OK First I've had my 95 for 2 years , and I always turn my key on and wait till the CEL (Check Engine Light) goes off before starting it. And it would always start right up strong. When the CEL is on I can hear that I believe is the fuel pump. When the light goes off the pump goes silent. Lately I've been noticing when I stop at a store and go to leave shortly afterwords (less the 1hr) the car starts and idles really low and seem like it's starving for fuel or flooded out. Twice now I gone to start the car and the CEL doesn't go off, I can't hear what I think is the fuel pump, and when I try to start it she won't start.
So is it a pump going bad?
A fuel relay? If so where is it?
Something else?

Re: Fuel issue?
Can you hear the relay? if so then the fuel pump could have gone bad. One way to check is to first see if the pump is running or fuel is atleast getting pumped to the engine. To do that do a simple fuel test.

Re: Fuel issue?
K well I change the relay Friday. At first I was thinking it wasn't the problem. Seemed like I still had the same problem with rough idle (for 5 seconds) when hot. But I've been driving around and it looks like it might be getting better. I will see how it goes this week.
