My Bronk just stops on the road and in a few minutes will start again. Also, getting harder to start because fuel pump cannot be heard energizing. After cycling key switch several times I hear the pump start in the gas tank and it starts. I installed a **** switch a year ago and this is when the problem started, but may be irrelevant. I thought the **** switch was getting hot (now switched to a 50 amp toggle switch) and stopping the fuel pump. Is there a switch that may be going bad that constantly supplies power to the fuel pump when engine is running? Could it be the key switch be going bad? Replaced fuel pump 3 years ago. Stumped again...
I'd start by checking the
fuel pump safety shut off switch.
(Then start checking ground connections.)
I had a very similar problem with my B2 a few years back, it started happening once in a while and then more and more frequently. To the point where I'd get maybe 5 minutes down the road before dying. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and it would start up again, and run just long enough for me to hightail it up a hill and back to the garage. I had figured that it was something that was heating up, but I was stumped as to where to start looking, because it could well have been a loose or poorly connected ground wire that got a tiny bit looser once the engine heated things up.
The connector at the safety switch was bad.
It was shorting intermittently. The heat from doing this had partially melted the connector. My supposition is that in the process of melting, the 2 wires were getting closer and closer together and hitting bumps on the road would jiggle the wires and connector just enough to make the short.
