not starting

There is a reasonable chance your main fuel pump was pushed over the edge
while the transfer pump failed.

The pumps cool themselves with fuel, and running dry for a bit seems to
wreck them.  The one under the car (main) is loud enough to hear if you
stick your head near the back wheel while somebody else works the key.  When
it's working, you can  feel it "hum" if you put your hand on it.

> Recently, the car (16v) died and after posting the symptoms, many said
"replace the transfer pump."  I did that this weekend and it's been running
fine.  30 minutes ago, while heading out to run an errand, I started the
car, it ran for about 1 second and died.  I haven't been able to restart it
or pop the clutch (only tried this once as I'm tight for space and don't
wish to be stuck on the curb).  What are the odds that it will start when I
try to head home (~2 hours from now)?
