Fuel cutting out while cruising
Posted: Fri May 28, 2010 2:05 pm
I've been running MS successfully for almost two years and just recently started having what I think are fuel delivery issues. Specifically, on two recent trips after driving for about 1 1/2 hours at freeway speeds, the car begins to stumble as though it is running out of fuel (plenty of gas in the tank.) Additionally, I can hear one of the relays quickly flicking repeatedly. One time I got off at an exit and the car just died. When I tried to start up again I could hear that the fuel pump relay wasn't triggering at all. It seems to get a little better after things have cooled down, but this could just be coincidence.
I've gone through and checked connections, grounds, etc.. and everything seems solid. Of course I can't get this to happen on cue so I can't get a datalog to see what is going on. Has something similar to this happened with anyone? Any direction you can provide? It *seems* electrical and not mechanical but I just can't put my finger on it. Thanks in advance folks.
