Subject: need advice before i jump in the deep end with a C900 fuel pump


Hello thankyou for taking the time to read this post any advice and help you could give me is really appreciated. My saab 900 MY93 seems to have developed an intermittent fault with the fuel pump and i was wondering if the pump itself can be removed and repaired the Bently manual doesnt seem to offer any information regarding this the car has done 104,000 miles which i thought was a bit young to develop a faulty fuel pump ...but recently i have to admit to my shame ...i have been running the car low on fuel ...i know this is something which should not be done with any car and it looks like it may well be an expensive lesson to learn the pump has failed to start twice and each time i have managed to start the car by jumpering fuses 27 & 30 in the fuse box as Bently suggests with a sharp whack with the handle-end of a big screwdriver to the top of the pump which gets the pump "whrrring" and the car starts when it is next cranked ...I should mention i havent tried the relay tests also mentioned in Bently ... i have assumed its the pump ...could i be wrong? The car covered about 60 miles with a full tank over a couple of days between pump failures can anyone offer any advice ? ...Could the pump be serviced? ...Is it possible it has been clogged or something from sediment in the tank? a couple of months ago the car went through a short phase where it'd judder and lose power momentarily but it cleared up and stopped after replacing the dizzie cap rotor and plugs but it did at the time cross my mind it may have been a fuel supply problem anyway ..again thanks for any advice and for reading this post. -- neil
