Re: [DML] Re: Testing Fuel Pump; Out of vehicle

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

This happened to me just a little while ago.  The pump stopped working,
so I removed it and went to find a replacement.  By the time I got to a
friend's garage, the pump was working again.  I put it back in and it's
been fine since; i have a few hundred miles since that happened.

Having something small lodged in the pump could stop it from turning;
though the baffle screen should filter this stuff out.  Try switching
between forward and reverse voltage a few times; whatever is stopping it
from turning might break free.  

It could also be toasted anyways; these things do wear out.
