I took an hour ride today. About half that time was at speeds 50+ mph. The other half was mostly 30 - 40 mph with a lot of stops at intersections. During the ride, I didn't experience any issues.
After returning home and shutting off the engine, I attempted to restart it just a few minutes later, but it would not start. After several attempts, I noticed that I was not hearing the fuel pump kick on when I turned the key to ON.
I browsed the forum and found posts about fuel pumps getting hot. So, I waited an hour and made another attempt. As soon as I turned the key, I could hear the fuel pump spring to life. The engine started right up!
If the hot fuel pump issue is what I experienced, then why didn't it give me problems during the ride? Why only after being shut down???
Anything else I should be considering?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
