Blew the fuse from my fuel pump upon start up of car, needed fuse replaced and got the car to start. However, the fuse would continue to blow, therefore need new fuel pump and filter. Tried to replace the pump with an after market part and it wouldn't fit properly, meaning i need a new expensive pump. *kb

Both times, it occurred with a warm engine, 1/4 tank of gas, and accelerating normally from a stop. Mechanic subsequently detected no problems, except blown fuel pump fuse. *nm
