You’re going to think I’m crazy but I’m a mechanic going on 50 years a lot of times we see fuel pumps go out and the Tow truck driver puts them way in the back of the parking lot I walk out there with a hammer and someone else to crank it i tap on the gas tank While they crank the engine and nine out of 10 times it’ll start up if it does you need a fuel pump
