is my fuel pump failing?
periodically my 2005 optra 4 door LS will give me trouble starting. i know its a fuel problem through various trial and error. when i tried to start it the other day, it wouldnt. i had my girl friend turn the engine over while i beat the gas tank and it started. commonly this would meen there is a fuel pump problem. seeing as a fuel pump for this car is upwards to $1000, i want to make sure thats what it is before i jump the gun and buy one. i also have susspision that its loosing the fuel prime. if thats the case, there are 3 sensors that could be failing. has anyone else had the same or similar issues? help!!
