I picked up my 1992 C4 today and drove it from Columbus, Ohio to Richmond, VA. The car has 71,000 miles on it and has no issues, the previous owner took very good care of it. The car was showing 51 Miles Distance to Empty and had one bar on the Gas Gauge, I was in the process of pulling off the Hiway, when the car sputtered and felt like it was either running out of gas or the fuel pump was bad. It finally stopped and would not restart, even after I put 5 gallons of fuel in it. I had it towed home. Here is the diagnostic I have done so far:
*I checked the fuel pump fuses (both of them) and neither are blown.
*The Fuel pump is not making the sound like it is working when the key goes to the on postion.
Do C-4 Corvettes have an inertia switch? (I am Former Msutang Guy and they all had them) If so, where is it located?
I am going to assume that I burned out the fuel pump becasue the car ran out of gas as I was driving it and the fuel was no longer lubricating the pump. Of course this really angers me as the Distance to Empty showed 51 Miles left... WTF? Do C4 Corvettes typcially give errounous fuel readings?
Bottome line?? How hard is it to access and repalce the fuel pump? Does it require dropping the fuel tank? (I'm praying no.. )
