There needs to be a video explaining what sputtering, idling, turning, surging, stalling, means and what they sound like.

All of these symptoms can be caused by a partly blocked fuel filter except the noise of a fuel pump that would be the fuel pump after checking the pressure if it's low pressure always change the fuel filter first as only cheap about 20 dollars to do and could be that and the fuel pump could be fine and you don't want to change the fuel pump if it's not that do you ? great video but mention the fuel filter also that could be the problem you know it makes sense also it could be a faulty crank position sensor that can also shut down the car for no reason and make it hard or impossible to start gives the same symptoms as a blocked fuel filter or a failure of the fuel pump great video hope that helps the people here 👍🤔💯

Decent video. My truck is showing several of these symptoms, and I was already suspecting the fuel pump. This helps confirm it. Thanks!

PS this is some friendly feedback about the video editing, and it's just my opinion, but perhaps others share this feeling. The mouse click sound for every bit of text that pops up on screen is really annoying, and adds nothing to the content of the video. Other than that, keep up the good work!

I’ve replaced every part of my fuel system minus the lines and still have a low rail pressure code I recently rebuilt the engine and had a new fuel pump it sat in my shop for about three years the only thing I can think is it’s gotten weak from sitting in storage

My car sounds like, bippidy boppidy boop, any idea?

Could the fuel pump be the issue after I fuel up every time? When I fuel up I have hold down the gas pedal to get it to pick up gas

This video has explained what my Subaru legacy B4 twin turbo no power when I step my foot on the pedal to speed up on he high way.

[Maria_Moon_Angel]

It was a good explanation

I want to add that it got annoying hearing all the mouse clicks for everything that came on the screen, please tone those down

Anyways, thanks for giving the basics of this issue

Can Driving with the AC switch on can effect the feul pump, because when i turn on the AC and after switch of the AC, and when i give a throttle at around 2000 rmp to change the gear then my car engine stop by itself..

While driving at approx 70 km/ h suddenly the engine revs just drop and engine stops and nothing happens when you depress the accelerator pedal.Is this the fuel pump failing? Please assist.

Even my Cutlass used to bog, I ignored it one time, forget to get gas, then realized oops! ;)

hey, Volvo s40 2008 petrol here. so the other day my car completely stalled on the highway as I was going with 60mph. There were no symptoms whatsoever, just all my dashboard lights went on for a second then car lost power and had to pull over. Now, my fuel pump used to be quite loud, it used to start making buzzing noise as soon as I turn the key on but mechanic said it's okay. Now, when I try to start the engine nothing happens, the engine doesnt even start to crank, mechanic said there might be a broken piston / or that timing belt has broken teeth and now I wait for him to open it. BUT I also noticed that I cant hear the fuel pump buzzing anymore when i turn the key on. Is there any chance that the fuel pump has failed and there's some sort of sensor that prevents the engine from even trying to start or is it two completely separate systems and prob the engine is damaged. Thanks

My car engine shut down itself while driving and the check engine light show's up and couldn't start until i'll switch on and off the ignition and the fuel doesn't pump the fuel as soon as the ignition is switch on, it makes sound after 5/6 sec only after the ignition is switch on, normally as the ignition switch is on then the fuel pump makes sound, so, after a long drive my car's engine stop by itself
