Family memeber's car. Complained of it loosing power and quiting. Sometimes would stop but could wait a few and restart it. Weather did not seem to be a factor. Before it was taken to a mechanic, the timeing belt failed.
2.0 liter failed timing belt. I had head rebuilt, 2 valves. New Belt Tensioner. Plugs, rotor cap, reassembled and ran great for about an 1 hr (about 5 Short drives) Drove in driveway. Shut off engine. Few minutes later, drove into the garage. Engine quit like starved for fuel. (Had been running perfectly) Would almost restart but would stay running for more than 2 seconds or less. Wanted to run. Checked Timing belt tension, alignment marks everything normal. Removed the fuel input to the rail, very little pressure. The in tank pump (only One?), runs for only an instant at key switch on, Even with fule line removed from the rail. When cranked it have little volume and no pressure with running into a container. Changed the fuel filter. Still the same. Where can I check the pressure to make sure it is the correct or how can I check the pump. Have not been able to remove ring on pump retained but really wanted to check the filter first.. Help. Please- posted
