Last fall I changed my fuel filter, drove to the gas station and filled up, then drove to my mom's. Car sat for maybe a half hour and when I went to start it it ran ruff for a few seconds till I shut it off, noticed the pump wasn't priming when I turned the key. I tried bending the pin on the relay and switching the relay, neither helped. Took the cover off in the truck and tapped the pump a few time and the car started right up.
Drove it for 200+ miles after that then let it sit for a month while I drove my truck. Few weeks ago I drove it for a good 50 miles then one morning I drove to my friends house to give his gf a ride to work, let it sit for 10mins, went out and the pump wouldn't prime again. Tapped on it a few times and it started right up again.
One thing, last year I ran over a rock at a campground and put a dent in my gas tank, ever since then my gas gauge has been off(usually showed over full when I fill it up, now shows 2 notches below full) Not sure if the dent caused the gauge problem as I don't remember if it started doing it right after the dent or not.
Any idea if the pump is going bad? If so is the $160 assembly any good at the W Body Store?
Thanks,
Joe
