[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 862785, member: 61136"] sounds to me as if the pump maybe over heating. The cloged filter can be causing part of it. How many miles on the filter since last change? To much back pressure. The pump cools itself by the fuel it move through it. I believe the '03 is the return type of fuel regulation. How many miles on the pump? Also if you have a habit of running the fuel tank low most of the time, That can shorten a pump life. The pump electric motor and gears cools and lubes itself by the volume of fuel it moves and being submerged in enough fuel. Also the pump can just wear out from high millage. But the pump having to work hard against a cloged filter and constantly keeping the tank low. Can shorten the life of most intank pumps. The fuel is the coolant and the lubricant. [/QUOTE]
