I live in PA where its been subzero temps the last few days, and yesterday I had to do some running and my 96 GSR wasnt starting. Gave it a listen and didnt hear fuel pump (did get main relay clicks), so I pulled the rear seat, gave it some taps, and went out for 30+ miles.

Today it's a little warmer, and I went out to start it up just as a checkup, and had the same problem. Tapped the fuel pump again, but didnt go anywhere, and it cut off after about 5 mins of idling, tried this a few times.
It's been sitting with about 1/2 tank of 93 in it.

Do you think the fuel pump is on it's way out or just acting up because of the extreme weather?

 

Replace the pump, it is on it's way out. 94

 

Will do, hopefully it holds up long enough to get home tomorrow.

Out of curiousity, did the cold kill it?

 

if you dont have $80 for a walbro the performance electric pump at rockauto will buy you some time for $30 or so.

 

Unlikely the cold had anything to do with it.

Leave the rear seat out, have a hammer or something long enough the reach back there to tap the fuel pump cover.

I drove my 94RS for 3 weeks or so like that, waiting for my Holly fuel pump the come in. 94
