When the ignition wont turn over like its out of gas is that the fuel pump?

Since most modern automotive engines are EFI, I'll assume you're asking about one of them. EFI engines require that fuel be delivered to the injectors at a specific pressure. That pressure is determined by the engineers who designed the engine and EFI controls. Low or no pressure to the injectors can certainly act like the vehicle is out of fuel, but it may just be a delivery problem. The computer turns the fuel pump on when you try to start the engine. If the engine doesn't start or if the computer does not receive a signal that the engine started (even thought the engine may have started briefly), the computer will turn off the fuel pump within a few seconds. There are several reasons why an injected engine may not be receiving fuel: * The computer does not turn on the fuel pump (possibly a sensor or the computer... probably NOT the computer though, but it's possible) * The fuel pump is working but fuel is not getting through (possibly plugged fuel filter or fouled injectors) * The computer is trying to turn on the fuel pump but the fuel pump doesn't pump anything (possibly a failed fuel pump, failed relay, blown fuse which usually is the result of a failed fuel pump or faulty wiring or just plain out of fuel) This is where it becomes valuable to possess some basic diagnostic skills.

Does engine have to run for fuel pump to run?

If the vehicle has an electric fuel pump, then no, it runs no matter if the engine is running or not, but it will only run for a few seconds unless the engine is started. However if the pump is mechanical then the engine must be running for the pump to work.

I have a 92 gmc sonoma truck and it will not start We replaced the fuel filter and the distributor cap and rotor cap. The truck started and then shut down. IT wouldn't start again. HELP?

There is a good possiblity it is the fuel pump. Spray a little starting fluid into the air intake duct to see if the engine will run breifly. If so the engine is not getting fuel. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and it is common for the pump to fail. The fuel tank would have to be removed in order to replace the pump.

Where is the fuel pump on a 1984 Chevy Celebrity?

The location of the fuel pump depends on which engine the car has. If it is the 2.5L 4 cylinder fuel injected engine the fuel pump is in the fuel tank. If it is the carburetted 2.8L V6 the fuel pump is on the lower part of the engine block on the radiator side of the engine.


What tells fuel pump to run when engine has started?

The year, make, model and engine would help but, in most cases the crank sensor tells the ECM (Engine Control Module) the engine has rpms so the ECM keeps the fuel pump running. Some engines use the oil pressure switch to keep the fuel pump running.


Where is the fuel pump located in an automobile?

That depends on the year, make, model, engine. In general a carbureted engine has a mechanically driven fuel pump mounted on the engine. A fuel injected engine normally has a electric fuel pump in the fuel tank.


When you change the fuel filter and drain the fuel line do you have to prime the fuel pump?

No, it is self priming. You may however have to use starter fluid to get the engine started.


How do you change the fuel pump on a 1986 Chevy Celebrity?

That depends on whether your engine has a carburettor or is fuel injected. If your engine has a carburettor the fuel pump is on the lower engine block. If your engine is fuel injected the fuel pump is in the gas tank. Tell me which engine you have and I can give a more specific answer.


Will a car start if the fuel pump has gone out?

No, of course not. The fuel pump supplies fuel to the engine. The engine will not run without a supply of fuel.
