 Subject: fuel pump vs computer
IP: Logged
Message:
93 Dakota x-cab with 318. About once a week it will crank but won't start, About once a month it will die while driving. I have relaced fuel filter, plugs. wires, PCV, but not fuel pump. The truck starts/runs after a few minutes and runs well otherwise. No errors on computer.
What next?---Thanks for any suggestions.

this is a really hard thing to pick out, i had this happen and the if its the fuel pump it will tend to sputter and loose power before it dies, a computer will just cut the ignition (in my experience) i would also check the fuel pump relay and the auto shut down relay, look for a check engine light and a miss that persists throughout the rpm range

When you replaced the plugs and wires, did you also replace the distributor cap and rotor?

Thanks guys. It has 150,000 miles with original fuel pump. Cap and rotor were replaced. No chack engine light, no missing and no sputtrring.
Should I consider replacing the whole fuel pump assembly?
Haven' messed with the underhood splice-good thought.
What should I do first?

Thanks to all. I'll redo the splices and let you guys (girls?) know. It's great to have this much knowledge at my fingertips.
