Is the fuel pump on an 85 Cutlass with the 3.8 v6 on the block or in the tank? My car broke down last night and I had to have it towed home. I was sitting in a parking lot, started it up, ran for a minute and died. Trying to start it again but it acted like it was flooded. Popped hood, pulled air cleaner, tried pumping the gas a lil more, but no gas smell.
It was too dark to check the fuzes (is the fuel pump on a fuze or a relay???) or anything else, so I had it towed home.
After the tow, I started up the car for sh1ts and giggles, and it started... and ran for 10 seconds and died again.
Would you say fuel pump? I just changed the fuel filter at the carb, but I've driven it a lot since then, so... any ideas?
I'm at work now, without my car or my Haynes manual, so I ask so I can price out the parts. Is a fuel sending unit common to go out on these?
