Fuel issues in the rabbit - Rupertfl - 05-13-2016
i think it is my fuel pump, but really don't know. After getting the car running i drove it for two days no problems, but i was taking my mom to walmart, about 15 miles. Got pretty close but on a hill in 4th gear going 45 it started to feel like it had no power. Shifted into 3rd, started to buck, backfire, and still had no power. i made it to the light, turned it off. I tried to turn it back on, no start. i waited for about 30 minutes it cut on and i drove it another couple of miles parked it. Waited for an hour drove it close to home died again. waited about 3 hours, i drove home with no problems. Drove it again a day later made it to work, after and 8 hour day, drove home, died 2 miles from my house. Waited 30 minutes drove a bit, same symtoms stopped, but the next time i tried to go it couldn't keep it's self on. After 3 hours drove home no problems. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? :dunno:

The 02 did that after sitting for several months, lot of backfires, bucking, etc. I don't know if I had water in the lines or what, but it cleared out after about 30 min of driving and feeling like it was going to croak.
Maybe also check you pickup in the tank and fuel filter for blockages?

I had changed the fuel filter after the first break down, but last night I dropped the gas tank and the fuel pump. Tons of sediment and crappie in the tank. Hopefully that solves it.

Must be a big tank to fit fish in there.
