| Van has been hard to start for a couple of months. could not start van without additional voltage assistance. since van would run once started the fuel pump was not suspected. when van was put on a scope, the fuel pump pressure was diagnosed at 45 (specs are from 40 - 50, according to manufacturers guidelines). after having the fuel injectors, alternator and plug wires replaced, the van still would not start on its own. shop pulled the fuel pump out of the gas tank to take a look at it and the wires had melted and were charred. live wire was exposed for about a one inch section. 3 inches of wire were melted. connector was badly charred to the point of disintegration. since fuel tank sits under the middle row of seats, this is an extremely scary scenario. i have saved the original fuel pump and would like someone to look at it. if the second wire would have melted, the van would have blown up instantly, as it is, we are really lucky that it did'nt catch fire with us in it. please call me with any questions that you have. thank you, shawna dunn | |||
