Yesterday my car broke down so I had to crawl under it for 2 hours to change a fuel filter and didn't fix the problem. It is also in the 30 degree F in MI so I had to lay on cold cement.

It just sucks.:(

It was the fuel pump, So it cost me $370.00 out the door from the dealer. Not as bad as I thought.

The moral of the story is change your fuel filter every 3000-5000 miles to help prevent your pump from burning up.:)

Do you have water in your fuel lines?? Try a fuel additive and see if that helps.

No I already looked for that, From what I understand the fuel pump has to have 40psi to work and my filter was plugged so I believe the pump burned out. I did change the filter.

I have a appointment with the dealer Friday so I will let everyone no how much money they bent me over for.:(

I guess one too many test drives have come back to haunt.
