Fuel pump

Well we went with the mechanic doing the job but with a cheaper fuel pump. He put it in also with a new fuel filter and the car still won't start. He made it clear to me that with the old pump he didn't hear it grinding but with this one he does which says to me there was definitely something wrong with the old one. He said he disconnected something and when he tries to start the car it's suppose to spit out gas and it's not which obviously says no gas is going to the engine. Not good to hear your mechanic sound stumped by this. He said tomorrow he's gonna double check his work and if everything seems fine he's gonna exchange the pump and hope that there's something faulty with it. Any ideas what else it could be?

Call a Chrysler dealer and see what the part costs. That price does seem very high.

He swapped the new pump with another new one and he said it's now doing what it's suppose to. Obviously the first "new" one was faulty. The problem now? Still not starting. He believes it's the crank sensor. I asked him if the old fuel pump could cause a problem with the crank sensor or vice versa. He said no. Could this just be a coincidence or could the sensor have been the problem from the beginning. If he's being honest he said he knows for a fact there was something wrong with the original pump. Obviously I don't trust mechanic.

I had a similar problem, the cost for the part is right for top line product, then you take whats out there.

IM JUST SAYING ON A 1997 CHRYSLER CONCORD CHANGED FUEL PUMP IN 30 MINS NOT 6 HRS THAT SOUNDS CRAZY TO ME AND IF THE FUEL PUMP IS GOOD THEN IT IS PROBLALY THE CRANK SENSER
