RE: Fuel pump?

["Shannon Fenton" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

You checked the intank hoses right? If those are good than all I can think
of is a failing transfer pump or dying fuel pupm relay. But we know the
problem has something to with the relative position of fuel in your tank
which says tranfer pump if not hoses...I wouldnt worry about the main pump,
the only damage you are doing to the mian pump is from when it runs dry.

Daun, yes mine is a Wolfsburg Edition.....

this is weird, but today, after writing this email first, I went out for a
bit.....car was doing the hesitating thing....it normally will do this once
or twice on a trip in town.  Today it would do it EVERY TIME I hammered on
the gas...it's almost like a bang-bang-bang, hesitates so horribly I am
afraid It'll break something.  (Sal, if I don't fix this soon, I may need
that header you are selling *L*) also if I turned fast or braked hard, the
engine would die.

I checked the hoses fromt he transfer pump as shannon suggested, but they
are fine.

I have a new main pump that I bought for my winter beater that I have since
stripped for parts and had the rest hauled away....but I forgot to take out
the transfer pump DOHHH.......hopefully it is the main pump (it was making
funny loud noises today)........I'm going to change it after I get home from
class tonight at 10:00.......I HOPE this fixes it......
