    Hello so recently I’ve been having issues I just went to Vegas and my fuel pump went out mid way. I was having issues where before when I was accelerating it would cut out and die. Now since I was stuck out there had no choice but go to a dealer they serviced it and I had to bring my own pump since they wanted like 700$ for an oem one. Autozone was 190$. Got it back while In Vegas ran fine drove it home. Now I’m having issues where I have a po172 it was popping up before going to Vegas but still coming up. As well as I’m having issues where when I press on the gas it cuts out. Any advice would be helpful

    Probably no help.....but months back I thought same....so replaced pump...
    run for couple weeks.....then when you give it gas it started stalling and die....
    but only when hot.....

    Turns out its ignition switch.......one of my coils was bad......thinking that may of over stressed those connections...

    Replaced it.....and its so important I keep a generic $20 one in glove box with xtra relays and fuses.....

    Not that old I just swapped this motor in about 40k miles ago. It’s a jdm 3rz. It ran completely fine halfway to Vegas then just stumbled and I pulled over turned it off tried to turn it back on wouldn’t start. Checked the line that goes into fuel rail and was dry.

    Replaced already I mean it reads temp normally so I don’t see why it could be bad? I have a ultra gauge that tells me the actual number of temp
