I have been having intermittent issues and I have tracked it down to being an electrical fault. Basically the car would suddenly just die for no reason and read 0 fuel even if the tank was full, and the fuel pump that is supposed to run for 3 sec before starting would run constantly. I was thinking the fuel pump was bad because I was getting what I thought was fuel starvation issues on left hand turns, however, it turns out that it is something to do with one of the splices in the wiring. Basically I found one of the connectors was lose and just floating and when it was wiggled there was the tell tale sound of electricity ticking indicating a short.
Fuel Pump constantly
Fuel Gauge (Tank is full)
Wiggling anything in this area would cause a clicking sound (short) and would temporary fix the issues.
I thought this was the problem splice but I re-wired it and was getting the same issue.
If anyone has ideas I would be open to suggestions. Im about 80% sure its an electrical short but I need a resistance reader to track it down and I need to steal one from work tonight.
Thanks
