Q: if the fuel reset switch dont reset is it the pump?
fuel pump reset switch wont reset. does that mean the pump is no good?
My car has an automatic transmission.
The best way to test a fuel pump for proper function is to test the fuel pressure. If the fuel pressure is low, this could mean that the fuel pump is weak or that the fuel filter is clogged. I would recommend having your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional to determine the exact cause of your fuel system issue. Consider YourMechanic as inspection such as these can be performed at your home or office.
