Yeah, I think I'll try the filter first because the pump sounds strong to me which I guess that doesn't alway's mean its not getting weak. Plus, like you said the filter and tool is way cheaper. By the way the car has 142,000 mi on it (about time for an over haul or maybe an SRT-4 engine) Ive only put about 1,000 mi on it since I got it back in November. Thanks alot, I'll let you know what happens.

 

Yeah, with that many miles, I'd say change the filter for sure. Never know when (if) it has been done!

 

So yesterday morning I was headed to court on a bull sh#t assault charge and I tried priming the fuel pump like I had been, and it didn't work.? You think I should still try changing the fuel filter?

 

If the filter is clogged or really dirty, it is going to keep fuel from getting to the engine...

Did you have the computer checked for any codes?

 

The only code is a multiple missfire, but it only happens when Im having trouble getting it started. The code goes away after it runs for only a minute or two.

 

Symptom List:
P0300-MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE
P0301-CYLINDER #1 MISFIRE
P0302-CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE
P0303-CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE
P0304-CYLINDER #4 MISFIRE
Test Note: All symptoms listed above are diagnosed using the same tests.
The title for the tests will be P0300-MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE.

When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0300-MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE
When Monitored: Any time the engine is running, and the Target Learning Coefficient has been successfully updated.
Set Condition: When more than a 1.0% misfire rate is measured during two trips.

P0301-CYLINDER #1 MISFIRE
When Monitored: Any time the engine is running, and the Target Learning Coefficient has been successfully updated.
Set Condition: When more than a 1.0% misfire rate is measured during two trips.

P0302-CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE
When Monitored: Any time the engine is running, and the Target Learning Coefficient has been successfully updated.
Set Condition: When more than a 1.0% misfire rate is measured during two trips.

P0303-CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE
When Monitored: Any time the engine is running, and the Target Learning Coefficient has been successfully updated.
Set Condition: When more than a 1.0% misfire rate is measured during two trips.

P0304-CYLINDER #4 MISFIRE
When Monitored: Any time the engine is running, and the Target Learning Coefficient has been successfully updated.
Set Condition: When more than a 1.0% misfire rate is measured during two trips.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• INTERMITTENT MISFIRE
• VISUAL AND PHYSICAL INSPECTION
• IGNITION WIRE
• ASD RELAY OUPUT CIRCUIT (COIL)
• ENGINE MECHANICAL PROBLEM
• IGNITION COIL
• COIL CONTROL CIRCUIT
• SPARK PLUG
• CHECKING FUEL PRESSURE
• FUEL PUMP INLET STRAINER PLUGGED
• RESTRICTED FUEL SUPPLY LINE
• FUEL PUMP MODULE
• CHECKING FUEL LEAK DOWN
• FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION
• ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT (INJECTOR)
• FUEL INJECTOR
• INJECTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT
• PCM (IGNITION SYSTEM)
• PCM

 

Note the restricted fuel supply line as a possible cause. For example, clogged/dirty fuel filter. Since you got that code, I'd say it is time to start checking off this list!!!
