No you can replace the sender and float which is on the side of the pump usually around $40 most jobbers.
In the gas tank. Since cars went from cabs to fuel injection the fuel pump went from a mechanical unit on the engine to one in the gas tank and so a nuisance to replace.
me personally i would check the relay. because that's what basicly controls the fuel pump
check the wires to your o2 sensor and the wires to the fuel pump you could have a short if not that then it could be your cam or crank sensor went bad it happens alot on these cars when you rev them.
code 44 means O2 running leanI got this code 44 on my 1994 Chevy blazer. It is telling you that your oxygen sensor is running lean. This code was generated due to a failing fuel pump and an exaust leak forward of the oxygen sensor. Once i tightened my headers and replaced my fuel pump the error went away. I also recommend that you replace your fuel filter.Hope this helps you outJohny
if the oil pressure sensor is not hooked up the pump will not run make sure whether it needs sensor for light or gauge cause it matters on the computer controled car
On my 95 aspire the fuel pump went out and I had to take out the back seat and the fuel tank is there along with the fuel pump.
check that the fuel pump is not loose
The problem of the fuel guage reading empty when full or any variation can be fixed by replacing the fuel pump. Your fuel pump is on its way out. Happeded to me. I rode with the needle broken for a few months, hit a bump and the car died. Was left stranded because fuel pump went out and had to get towed home. They do not sell the sensos separate. Got my pump from autozone.
Replace the fuel pump relay. I had this problem also, before I replaced it I wanted to look at it, and when I did, there was mud stuffed into it, I assume it was from bee's that use mud for nesting. I cleaned the dirt out and my fuel pump problem went away
In my case, it was a crank shaft sensor that went out, causing the cam sensor to go out, which may have led to the killing of the fuel pump. $200 later, hopefully it fixes it.
have you replaced the fuel filter
your distributor usually just connects to your oil pump to help circulate oil around the engine, if your fuel pump went bad at the same time it might just be a coincidence or your bein ripped off.
