Fuel pump problems
Several months back I had the fuel pump replaced in my 2002 boxster. I also installed a brand new interstate battery. I drove it a total of three times before it quit. The third drive I was headed home, hit a bump and the engine died within a few seconds. I checked battery cables, and looked for any loose connections, found none and the car wouldn’t start after repeated attempts. The battery still worked, dash lights came on and engine cranked but would not turn over. I’ve had the battery tested at my local interstate store, it’s fine. I checked all the connections on the top of the fuel pump sending unit and everything is tight. I do see a stray vacuum hose to left (passenger) side of battery compartment area. But I don’t see that it was attached anywhere. I’ll upload a couple of photos shortly. I do hear what I think is the fuel pump buzzing when I turn the key to on position. Engine cranks but won’t turn over feels like no fuel is getting to the engine.
