sounds like fuel pump or relay check relay first as its easiar than changing the pump it should be just up under the dash by the fusebox.
I would suspect you have a very weak fuel pump. Have it tested.
Not big enough... it always gets empty
According to studies done by the federal government, the 1993 Geo Metro gets 38 MPG (miles per gallon) in the city and 45 MPG on the highway. The estimated annual fuel cost is $944.
A 1993 dodge Dakota has a fuel tank of 22 gallons and gets an average of 15 mpg.
It could be flooded It could be flooded
Crank position sensor could be the problem. Worth looking into.
In a 1999 Subaru Forester, the fuel gauge may not return to zero when the engine is switched off due to a sticking float in the fuel tank or an issue with the gauge itself. The float mechanism relies on the movement of fuel to indicate levels accurately, and if it gets stuck or there’s debris in the tank, it may not drop back to zero. Additionally, a malfunctioning fuel level sending unit or electrical issues could also cause the gauge to remain at a higher reading even when the vehicle is off.
The Electronic Control Module, it gets power from the battery and sends power to everything, etc. the fuel pump relay, to kick the fuel pump on for two seconds prior to turning the engine on.
Mine gets 48 MPG to the USA gallon on the highway
by the wick the fuel gets to the flame
I have the same issue with our Subaru Outback 1996. Our mechanic said we should replace the Fuel Vapor storage Canister. This is a carbon filter that stores fuel vapors that leak out of the tank. If it gets clogged with fuel on a hot day the vapor is going to leak out when you're at a stop and get pulled into the car by the AC.
tbi's had a problem with surging when the fuel pump goes out, it normally prgressively gets worse until the vehicle no longer runs. also has low power as it gets worse. check fuel pressure it should be about 9-13 psi at idle. hope this helps, Randy
