Usually when a relay fails, it's gone. it is possible for it to fail if it gets too hot and come back after it cools. so I guess the answer is yes, it's possible.

What would cause the fuel pump on a 1999 ford crown Victoria to fail intermittently then work again after short time?

Either the pump is bad, or there is a short in the power wire somewhere. Sometimes you have a bad fuel pump rely too.

88 Chevy suburban 350 fuel pump runs when truck is turned off and will not start?

I am working on the similar problem but mine has a bad fuel pump in the tank. I was looking through the manual, before removing the tank, to see what might be simple to fix that could be causing my fuel pump to not work occasionally. I would replace your fuel pump relay first. the contacts in the rely might be hanging in the on position and not releasing. The pump will run for a second or two when you turn the ignition on (right before you start it) and it will run a few seconds afterward. but if its running for more than a couple of seconds either way. then you may have a rely problem. How i found out it was a pump instead of the rely was. I carefully poured a 1/4 cup of gas into the throttle body and opened up the butterfly valve and then turned the key. if it tries to start then it a pump or rely. Of course, as always, USE CAUTION and do not do anything your not comfortable or confident in doing, while working on a vehicle. It may cause serious injury or death.


Where the hell is the fuel pump rely on 88 gmc 305 van?

How do you know if it's the fuel pump that went out?

Open the fuel filler door, and remove the fuel cap, and have someone turn the ignition switch on without starting the engine, while you listen at the fuel filler opening. If you hear the pump run then you at least know the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay are good. But that does not necessarily mean the fuel pump is pumping fuel it might just be running. The only way to verify if it is putting out the proper pressure is with a fuel pump pressure test. If you do not hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds and then shut down, check the fuse and the rely for the fuel pump. If the fuse and relay are good you know the pump is defective and needs replacing. Be sure and replace the fuel filter.

Why does my 95 Mitsubishi eclipse turn over but not start?

It sounds like you have a fuel delivery problem or no spark. First check your fuel pump and make sure it is working and then try the fuel filter. If those are ok see if you are getting spark to the plugs. You can do it in any order. But this should be done first, replace the fuel pump rely, $15 part. It cost me $300 and a rental car to find out about the rely. Hope it helps.
