2002 Galant 2.4L having issues:

Background:
Car originally from deep south ... relocated to intermountain west and after first week it's dead in the water. Although the move is probably unrelated to anything I suspected fuel problems being that between here and there (2100 miles) the likelyhood of getting bad gas is pretty good.

Went to crank car to warm before taking kids to school ... it ran about 5 minutes .. put it in reverse then poof. Fuel level was getting low .. maybe bad gas .. usually kept her above a quarter tank. No codes thrown.

I put a small amount of fuel down the throttle and she runs briefly (lol til the fuel supply runs out).

Thus I concluded it was either the filter or the fuel pump so I replaced it ... seeing that its an all in one deal! Well I replaced the pump within the little unit. Is there a built in filter as well? I blew thru the hoses on the module lol ... everything appeared free! Gesh whatever happened to old fashioned filters n pumps??

Any Ideas??!!! Need help here is only mode of transportation!

So did you replace the filter or not? Also check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail. You can also find the fuel inlet line to the fuel rail, once you find it crack the line have someone turn the ignition key to run and see if fuel is getting that far. If your pressure is fine and the lines are clear, most likely its not a fuel problem.

^^^ Providing it really does run when your pour fuel down the intake.

Was fuel pump ... then had to "reset" computer. Initial problem was fuel pump but after install I didn't realize I had to ... err.. reboot the system so to speak. I suppose bad logic was stuck in memory ... mine and the cars. Disconnected positive cable battery ... left off about 15 minutes ... car started fine afterwards. Hmm ... I miss them old 60's cars I grew up with ... things were so much simpiler ... at .70 cent a gallon.
