Driving along at 60mph on the A322 in 6th and there is a minor jolt and the car seems to slow down. Clutch and rev it and the revs won't rise. Change gear but no effect, the car is slowing down and I know its going to stop. I get it on the verge, put the hazards on and tried to start it. It would start but die straight away.
I had the peake in the car so read the codes off as fuel on bank 1-4 and pre-cat O2 on 1-4. I pull the rear seats up and put it in position 2 listening for the fuel pump. No noise.
I pull the maff's and try to start it, again, starts but dies.
Check the fuse (54) for the fuel pump in the boot and it looks corroded and possibly dead. Swapped it for the Cigarette one and started it.
Fires up and runs fine.
Examine the fuses and the fuel pump should be a 15A but it has a 25A fuse in it. Not had a chance to run any tests (like if it blows with a 15A) but wondered if anyone had any suggestions? The fuel pump was apparently replaced about 18 months ago by the previous owner.
