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? -------------------- ![]() |

GOT HER FIXED!!!
The problem was the fuel pump. It took two trips to junkyard but $20 pump did the trick. The final tally is: $20 junkyard pump (from 95 GT) $90 two day car rental $100 diagnosis at the stealership $20 (maybe) worth of gas driving to the junkyard ---------------------------------------------- $230 Total expenses beats $1222.49 plus tax estimate. Let's hope it will last... -------------------- ![]() |
