·My 2004 Impala stopped running while I was driving it. As if it ran out of gas, all though it had plenty! I had it towed and my Mechanic checked the fuse to the fuel pump first. It was blown. It kept blowing . He determined it needed a new fuel pump. After the new fuel pump was installed, it started rough, but ran. I drove it 10 miles away from the mechanics shop. It died again as if it ran out of fuel. I had it towed back again! This time, the fuse was blown again. My mechanic put in a new relay for the fuel pump. Since then, it has not died. HOWEVER, before it ever died in the first place, I barley turned the key and it fired up without hesitation. It was also very quite before. NOW, since the work has been done, It NEVER starts on the first try and takes forever on the second try but it will start. The engine feels like it "kicks" right after it is started. My mechanic says maybe a different fuel pump that puts out more pressure would solve this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Additional info:The first fuel pump was bad no question there! I also just had the fuel filter changed about a month ago.
