Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I believe I have a bad fuel pump my wife have been driving my car while I been away overseas... now I'm back to a busted Boxster! She drove it on "E" alot! For no reason at all... my pay check was fat and tax free and not even a third went on rent... no excuses and just pure laziness. Anyways, I drove her and she puttered and a popping sound came from the left rear panel of the vehicle. When I sstopped at a light or decelerated and tried to take off she fought me back and didn't ant to go until I get up past 2-2.5k rpms... took her to auto zone to get some chevron gas treatment just in case my wife was being cheap and put standard gas in her. HAA! Came out to start her up and nothing she turns over but will not stay on... just dies and now she won't even stay on anymore. If it's the fuel pump (which I think it is from past experiences) how much will it cost me for myself to do it or dealer serviced?

POST 2Original post

Later years the pump is inside the tank so you are looking at big bucks to replace. Since the pump is cooled by the gas in the tank, running it dry is a definite no-no.
