My 1993 VW cabriolet has problems when I get down to about half a tank of gas. It will start to sputter and die as though i was running out of gas. I also have a small bit of trouble starting the car but nothing too noticeable, just crank it a couple of times. Would this be indicative of a fuel pump problem or fuel injection?
Hi. This is more of a fuel filter issue than a pump issue although, a bad fuel filter will eventually destroy a fuel pump. When the filter is restricted or clogged, this will tend to work the pump harder than normal. this will over heat the pump, therefore, shortening its life span. I recommend replacing the fuel pump and filter and, adding a fuel additive like techtron fuel injector cleaner/water remover as well.
Please rate and have a great day:)
The car has 2 fuel pumps. Internal thats inside the tank that pressures fuel to the other outside the tank to flow 15psi to the motor. If the internal goes out it will still run but only on 1/2 tank to more to full tank of gas. bc the external can still run harder to pull fuel out of the tank by its self. so u prob need a internal fuel pump. go on ebay. like 80.00 insteed of 316.99 at parts stores.
make sure arrow on filter face front of car....
