I'm getting sick of this.
Original fuel pump crapped out on 4/1, replaced with OE pump on 4/6, crapped out again on 4/7, replaced with
another OE pump on 4/12, and crapped out again on 4/13.
I have no idea what could be causing the pump to go inop so quickly. I ran the car a lot last night, cycled the ignition, worked great. After it was installed, it was covered fully in fuel before I turned the car on. Lines weren't kinked, no problems. Now back to square one, just cranks and doesn't fire.
Guys, I need to get my Boxster back on the road ASAP. Having one car in the house right now is, shall we say, very inconvenient, and I miss driving it.
Now that it's been positively in the fuel system, what in the car could cause it to fry a pump within a 12-hour window? Electrical, obviously, but what? The pump would cycle on (audibly) when the key was turned, and didn't stay on.
I need help!
Update: Replaced sending unit (w/ internal fuel filter) and fuel pump with used examples, drained the gas tank completely, and refilled with fresh 93 octane. Problem solved. Old fuel in the tank smelled old, not as pungent as fresh gas does - likely a contributor to the failure.
