My Son Ran Out Of Gas In His 1996 Tl. Now The Car Will Not Run. I Here The Fuel Pump When I Turn The Switch On. But When I Remove The Gas Cap, There Is No Presure To Be Released. I Have Taken The Gas Line Off Both Before And After The Fuel Filter. Both Times Turn The Switch On With The Gas Line Removed, I Get A "weak Stream" Of Fuel From It. Should The Gas Squirt Out Of The Line Or Filter?(more Than 5 To 7 Inches) Please Help....anyone. Yes, I Did Put Gas In It..

 

replace fuel pump and get new fuel filter

 

There's an inlet screen on the fuel pump that can become blocked w/ rust particles from the gas tank. You may need to have the tank cleaned before installing a new pump.

good luck

 

The FPR should hold up w/o issue for many. many miles. I think the inlet screen is your issue as Texas had said.

Short of a fuel pressure test, the only way I've "tested" fuel pressure is turning key switch on for 5 seconds and then off, and slightly cracking the banjo bolt. If fuel pressure is good, you will get a quite healthy spray of fuel (40+ psi driving pressure). If it dribbles or just flows out, you know you have a fuel delivery problem.

good luck

 

I had forgotten to release the pressure when I removed my one of my injectors and received a cupful of gasoline cupped in my hands, hehe. At least it was good to know I didn't die because of leaning out...
