An ancient problem.While the pump is new that does not mean it may be removed
from the list of suspects. I have 3 or 4 of the little cube looking fuel
pumps. All but 1 were aquired because I was told it runs but does not pump
fuel " some times"!  And indeed that 1 pump has something wrong with it.Â
  And based upon the external conditions I am led to believe they are near
new. Not corroded , rusty or any discoloration. The other pumps are in my
cars working flawlessly. All that said , do not ignore the possibility of the
pump , a bad ground or a intermittent conductivity problem in power to the pump
as the culprit.In grounding I have gone to using a star washer between a ground
wire terminal and the car body or frame to insure a positive metal to metal
ground instead of relying upon the grounding bolt or screw threads.  Also I
have tried to not use crimp on connectors , instead , soldering them and heat
shrink tubing to shield the bare part of the soldered terminal.  While some
of this borders on annoying tedium , it circumvents some real head scratching
diagnostics down the road.ChuckAfter owning the same bugeye since 1974 , I have
made a LOT of mistakes that have taught me over & over to just do it
right...Sent from my LG Mobile
