[QUOTE="wan520i, post: 226055, member: 1625"] I had similar experience, as you described above. At the end, found out that it was my fuel pump (FP) faulty. But better confrim this before you change the FP, its not cheap.. Here how to confirm: 1. You must have good hearing skill, try to listen to the FP motor spinning in your fuel tank. 2. Start your enigine and let it run idling, open your rear bonnet, flip the carpet and put one of your ear to the floor. OK, (if your hearing is superb) by now you should know how the FP motor sound. 3. Next time, if the situation happen again, ask someone to crank the engine for you, because you will be busy trying to hear the FP motor as descibe on step no 2. (what I did was put a jumper wire at fuel pump relay socket no 30 & 87b, but you need to have Mc Guywer's skill to do that..hehe.) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
