Description of the problem | The fuel pump overheats when idling and it went out. (noisily, it sounded like a dentist's drill) before going out i took it in for a diagnostic because the car was pumping gas fumes into the cab and they found nothing wrong. Because it is in the gas tank it cost me over $700 to replace. |
