[QUOTE="Lee12609, post: 718689, member: 12415"] fuel pump going south increasing the amperage it draws, much like a fan when the motor starts going bad it will cause alot of draw and usually burn the wiring, connector, or pop the fuse. no way to really pinpoint this problem online so just throwing out an idea nobody else brought up. you could hot wire your pump temporarily bypassing the fuse, drive it for a day or so like normal and see how she does, if you do this i'd fuse battery power and a SHORT ground with proper gauge wire (20amp fuse in the battery power side). if it pops that fuse instead of the underhood one you found the problem. also, does this seem to be more common after a good bit of driving, or will it happen pretty quick???
