So I have a 2005 T&C Touring 3.8 w/ Stow and Go. I have been trying to figure out why it was running perfectly (except for a very noisy ac compressor) and all the sudden it just stopped turning over. I am getting spark and changed out the ignition coil just to make sure, checked the battery and all the electrical side. The Fuel pump relay is working fine, but it appears the fuel pump is not (went so far as to climb under the tank to make sure).
I figured I would drop the tank and look at the fuel pump for the **** of it, but I am having issues with getting the siphon past the valve in the down pipe. So I figured I would ask for some help here. Has anyone had this issue? pump going from good to dead literally in a matter of minutes? If so how do I get past the valve to get the fuel out of the tank? it is filled to the brim so removing the down pipe would make too much spillage.
