Reduced Power = Fuel Pump Failure??

rotaz · 04-28-2007, 11:36 AM

For the guys that had the fuel pump failure...what kind of indicator warning did you see come up?

Mine takes like 5 secs to crank and car turns on. Then it rough idles really bad and stalls out. The computer says "Reduced Power" or something like that and I was wondering if this was what you guys got?

Any input would be greatly appreciated...

FYI, my car has been in the shop since 3/6/07 since my accident and now when I went to go pick up my car 4/26/07 it could be a fuel pump failure and may be out for another 2 to 6 weeks!!!

OMG I'm so pissed...so basically car will be down for over 3 months.

My dealership has provided me with a BMW loaner since day one.
