My meter is a real cheapo but it works on ohm resistance and light current loads

ok that is reasonable logic. harness or pump motor. Which I can check out after I pull it. IS there a way to check it with a meter without pulling it first?

Oh and 1Badpt I got or meant no disrespect there earlier.
Just get some help with them issues man.

Next time

I think we have covered most everything we got to cover on this.
A round for everyone.

I am leaning hard toward a messed up fuel pump pulling too much juice and stealing amps from the starter. Of course it is going to be a pain for the shop guy. I just have never heard of a fuel pump...

That was hillarious angierideswitme

hmm not a bad idea there illeagle.....No they have reset when i turned off the motor but do come back on if it runs for more than 15 minutes. Strange cause it is a timing thing too. I swear 15 mins...
