Is it possible to blow the fuel pump by leaving your gas cap off accidentally? im just wondering cuz i filled up started my journy home and it all of a sudden shut off i check timeing belt. still there. wasnt overheating and had oil. i tried starting again and it fired right up. got home shut it off and started a few times. i go out about an hour later and the fuel pump wont click on anymore. the fuse isnt blown i just cant figure it out?[:@] any help would be great.

 

no

could be time for a new pump

EDIT orthe fuel pumpwiring/relay may be having issues

 

u can also try the relay befor buying a new pump its cost less pepo come into wrk trying to return used pumps after they find out it was a relay

 

check to see if ur getting power... try to see if u could hear it whine

 

no i cant hear it whine thats the problem. i checked the fuse and the relay and they are both good. could it be possible i knocked a wire loose on the pump itself. ive been going through some really deep snow lately. but when it quit on me i wasnt going through any snow at all. but the roads i also travel regularly are very very bumpy and rough do u think it could maybe be the wire on the pump?

 

what about the reset button in the trunk??
we live on dirt roads and it wasnt graded in awhile and a friend had a tempo and hit a lot of bumps and the engine cut off then someone sugested the reset and sure as **** it was triped
although you said you already had it parked its just a thought

 

Neons dont have a re-set button or trip for the fuel pump like the Fords.

 

is it possible the connector came off? from all the bumps on my gravel road?
