940 Regina Suddenly Shuts Itself Off 900 1993

Does the amount of gas in the tank matter? I replaced the fuel pump in my daughter's 93 940 and must have bumped it and knocked it off the sender when putting the assembly in the tank. It would run fine over half a tank of gas but would die intermittently if there was less than half a tank of gas. Then again, heat shouldn't make a difference with that problem. Just a thought.

I think a fuel pressure gauge connected and left in place until it fails would be a good idea so you can check the fuel pressure when it dies and when it is being cranked. I have wondered about those aftermarket fuel pumps also. Some of them are getting quite inexpensive, like ProParts and the ScanTech (no longer in business) and I wonder if they last very long. A concern for me since I have 5 of the inexpensive ones installed (no ProParts though).

No OBD2 codes?
