Yesterday after driving I had an issue starting my car. Then a few minutes later it started I thought maybe I had vapor lock. But then after driving for over an hour I parked in my driveway. A few minutes later I jumped in car to run an errand and it wouldn’t start. I’m thinking fuel pump relay or the fuel pump failed.
before I start going through testing it I wanted to through it out to everyone for pointers for those that have had this issue.
thanks Aaron

FYI
just did a quick start spray test into the throttle body and it started right up for a few seconds till the sparky got consumed. So now definately sounds like fuel pump or fuel pump relay.

I checked the 25 amp fuel pump fuse it looks good. How do you disconnect the relay panel from under the dash?

thanks

I hooked up the durametric and triggered the relay for the fuel pump I could hear it click. I’m guessing my pump is bad?

Also I tried to remove the fuel line connection at the engine on the quick connect and couldn’t get it apart . I don’t remember it being an issue before?

Most 997 hot start issues are battery cable and alternator cable related, have you ruled this out?

Yeah i think so it starts immediately when I spray quick start into throttle body.

Is there an (easy) diagnostic procedure to measure the pressure on the fuel rails?

Perhaps even a "poor man's" test if there's a bleeder on the rail to see what if anything comes out when being bled.

Did you ever discover if the issue was a bad fuel pump?
