after several weeks now of wading thru the snow my car has finally took a stand and died as i was pulling into my driveway after getting off work. after several failed attempts i managed to get it to start up and pulled into my garage where the car idled fine then all of a sudden died again. tried to start it again and same thing, wont start then starts then dies after a few seconds. ok here's the symptoms:-when i turn the key to accessory position the EGI pump fuse emits a loud clicking noise at a constant rate of about 2 clicks per second.-the fuel pump itself is also making a thumping noise when the fuse clicks. -the EGI fuse also sometimes makes a strange movie-like electronic noise every once and a while if i let it click. -if i remove the fuse the click stops and the fuel pump stops thumping (obviously)-if i disconnect the fuel pump harness the fuse continues to click

is my fuse blown? or is it my fuel pump? before i take the whole fuel pump out to see if the sock fell off or something i thought i would get some advice from the pros here. thanks in advance.

fyi i am running a walbro fuel pump

YOu mentioned that your area get hit with lots of snow, I was wondering how cold did it get, probably the fuel lines are frozen, thats why it died. also do a diagnostic on the ecu and see what codes are you getting.

Good luck,
