Yesterday afternoon when I was leaving parking lot my car suddenly stuttered and died. I tried to start her again but no dice. She'll crank but would not start.
My assumption was immediately fuel pump, because it used to whine a little but now when I turn the key to ON position it won't even make a sound. Long story short: I broke down about half mile down the street from Tansky Toyota in Dublin OH. I used one of my three AAA tows and had her towed to their shop. Today I got a phone call from the manger telling me that the car is throwing two codes: fuel pump and knock sensor. I am not mechanically 100% so my question is: what are the chances of pump going out at the same time as the knock sensor? Also, the dealer quoted me over $1200 (without the tax) to fix the car. That seems to me WAY too steep. What are your thoughts guys? -------------------- ![]() |

waaaaaayyy overpriced.
the knock sensor threw a code because it wasn't getting enough fuel and it knocked, most likely it's not bad. If for some chance it is, I think I have one for cheap. The fuel pump is easy to change out, you just need a new fuel pump. Any ST/GT pump will do, try getting one from someone parting out their car. Changing the pump is literally less than a hour to do, it's right under the back seats, in here (pic) ![]() IMO don't have the dealership do it, just get a pump and change it yourself or have a friend help you, it's easy. -------------------- |
