Rb20 problem (starts jerking while driving)

[RB20DETodd]

Well, this is the 3rd time this has happend and the worse, anyways while driving, the car starts jerking like the engine is cuting out on off on off on off hard to explain but the jerking gets worse until it dies, but if i let it set for about 10 mins it starts up and runs fine, i think its a fuel problem, any ideas?

Thank you -Todd

sounds like an electrical problem

check your fuel filter. sounds like it might be clogged. also check your I/C piping for leaks.

is this during cruising at a steady speed?

Yes, usualy gives me about 30 seconds before the car craps out

battery ok? im with kamin on electrical.

if i had to take a guess, it sounds like your car electrical system kicks out, but of course your driving so your basically kick starting it back up.

do the electronics take a dump real fast?

Yep battery is good, while trying to restart i heard the walbro making a weee weee weee weee sound, itw weird cause if i let the car sit in the off position for about 10 mins it starts back up fine. And all the electronics act normal.

ever heard of tooo much speed but not enough? i think you should give some to me. haha. but the problem could be ur fuel pump or somewhere along the line. try changing out your fuel filter. laters guy

Had the same exact symptoms once. Make sure that MAF is clean.

Well im almost positive its the fuel pump, today the pump started going weee weee weee weee and about 15 seconds later started to slowly die at a busy intersection wooooopeee but did the usual waited a min with the engine off and started it up and drove it to the side of the road and waited for 5 mins then ran fine after that, any ideas on whats going on with the pump?

thanks
