Fuel Problem on SE
Some of you guys may have seen my "it starts then dies" thread. I pulled the fuel line right before the filter and ran the pump. Sure enough, it will shoot some fgas out and then stops (the pump is still runnung). I've drained the tank several months ago and didn't notice anything disturbing and pump is brand new. What the hell is going on?

Awsome replies. I was just under the car and did see what I thought was a filter directly before the pump. Is that the only one or are there more? Also it's part of the fuel line, what would I ask for at a parts store? Please help out with specific parts I need to fix/purchase. I'm at an apartement and am working at my parent's garage. The house is getting sold and the car's gotta be gone by next week. Can't work on it at my place and don't want to get rid of it. I JUST NEED IT TO RUN!!! Thanks a whole bunch guys-

If you're talking about a 13b EFI 'SE, then you're going to be looking for a fuel filter that looks like this;
This filter is all metal and much larger than you'd find on a carb'ed engine due to high fuel pressure needed to run the EFI injectors. If you get this fuel filter replaced, you'll probably find that your fuel 'starvation' problem is much better. Fuel pumps do go out on these cars from time to time (mine is original at 190k miles and still going strong), but you said that was a new part.
You did get an EFI fuel pump, right? Reply back and we'll see what we can do,
