Greetings from a new member!
I found the forum while searching for ideas after my LT (96 reg) died on the way to work this morning.
Seems to be a fuel pump fault as I don't hear the pump spin when I turn on the ignition. Having said that, when I went back with the trailer to pick it up after work the pump span up and it started OK but then konked out again after a minute or so.
Turns over fine but no start and no fuel pump.
Anyone met this one before?

James.

Btw Welcome to the forum. When you get some time do an intro in the campfire section with some pics.

Deja Vu all over again!

Mine's been doing the same thing. Scott posted a link to my thread about this above. I think I have narrowed it down to a bad connection where the fuel pump/sender wires go into the tank at the sender unit.

I have a new (used) sender unit en route and won't know for sure until I put it in.

If you want to PM me, I can give you the steps I used to track it down, but you'll need a mulit-meter.
