| Fuel Pump problems |
Driving and car stalled in intersection - smelt smoke - would not start, towed home then surprisingly started next day, this problem continued over and over despite replacing fuel pump, tune-up - mechanic ran a obd program which showed many errors, the mechanic informed me (and showed me) the wiring harness and told me to "get rid of the car" it was disintegrating - exposed wire and insulation on wires was cracked and crumbling and in some places wires were completely exposed. I could not afford this expensive repair and so my car sat for a long time and now I had a new motor and transmission installed and feel I should not have to pay this additional and very expensive repair.
Fuel pump failed twice.
