| Fuel Pump problems |
Vehicle refused to start. Problem traced to in-tank fuel pump connection which had corroded. Potential to spark and start a fire, vehicle might stall suddenly and without warning.
My baby, a 2001 Camaro convertible, 6 cylinder, has had three fuel system issues. I just saw the recall for 2012-13 chevy's for fuel system issues and am hoping someone will look into the 2001 and see if this model should have been sent a recall notice. In approx 2004 on way to military conference my car stalled whiled pulling out from gas station. It had been stalling week prior but was thought to be because of bad gas. . . It's final stall was of course on the way to a military function where I shouldn't have been late. It was towed to jeff gordan's chevy, wilmington, nc and approx $1400 later I had a new fuel pump and ?? . Ran great again until approx late 2010 or early 2011. Almost got t-boned doing a turn with incoming traffic when my baby stalled as I was driving to the closest mechanic, firestone on gen booth, va beach 23454 after it had been stalling all week-mileage approx 85,000. Once again was told I needed a new fuel pump, approx $1500 we were good to go again. Now, my check engine light came on and the code that came up was a general code for something with fuel system but they need to drop gas tank once again to be able to correctly diagnose prob. I'm hoping someone will look back at 2001 chevy's and see if a recall should have been listed for that yr also. Sounds like very similar symptoms. 2 fuel pumps in 6 years seems excessive to me and other mechanics thanks for looking into this.
