The computer sends a pulse
The computer has a green wire with a black stripe,that wire runs over to the fuel relay then splits off to the fuel pump,then to the injector/s ,then last to the ignition coil
My Stratus is a 2000. I recently had my fuel pump and filter replaced. They are on top of or in the fuel tank. Lot of work, good luck! I took it to the dealer!
Trust me, it works. Your problem is the fuel level sensing unit connected to your fuel pump. Change your fuel pump and your problems will be solved.
If the relay is bad, then the fuel pump will not work.
A partially clogged fuel filter can cause the fuel pump to work harder and in the end cause premature fuel pump failure. Due to how expensive it is to replace a fuel pump, I recommend you replace the fuel filter every 50,000 miles. Cheap insurance against pump failure.
How many doors each car has no bearing on what fuel pump is used. This is based upon the engine ... if the engines are identical in EVERY respect, then they might be compatible.
Bad fuel pump?
That depends on how much gas is in the tank and what the angle is.
In a 1995-1998 the fuel tanks are the same, So yes you can interchange the tanks. while your at it you may as well change the fuel pump as well.
It is on top of the fuel tank. Just a word of advice. Spend the extra money and get an OEM fuel pump from the dealer. It may cost a little more but worth it in the long run. The fuel pump I bought for my 89 from napa lasted about 9,000 miles before it went out. It was under warranty so I exchanged it...the next one lasted about 3,000 miles. I don't know if I have just bad luck or what, but since I bought an OEM pump from the dealer, it hasn't let me down....30,000 miles later. I only say this because replacing the fuel pump is alot of work for the home mechanic. Not hard work...it is just taking down the gas tank and all is a pain in the a$$.
NO....if Fuel pump doesnt sent fuel to engine...engine cannot combust...
If you do the work yourself you can save alot of money in labor... The pump cost around 160-170 and the filter is like 10 dollars.
Yes, it is a fuel pump relay.
