Stock92...just quit running?

officered · 01-12-2003, 09:05 AM

Just sputtered once and died. Gas was at 1/8 (low) Thought guage was off so poured a gallon in. Cranks fine will not fire.
I can hear the fuel-pump prime when turning ignition on. TFI replaced with after-market unit about 4 months ago. Can the 10 year old fuel-pump make a priming noise without moving any gas?
Or can thre new TFI module have a massive failure under high heat conditions and continue to fail after cool-down?

You could just have a pluged fuel filter, it is an $11.00 dollar part (CND) and takes less then 20 minutes to install. I had a similar problem on two different mustangs, fuel filter both times.
