This is a funny story because a similar thing happened to me and was a minor fix which helped me save lots of $Dough$. Let me remind you that this happened to me on a 01 Hoe.

I would hear the pump come on but wouldn't start. The Hoe would crank over but wouldn't start. Several codes came up (cant remember which ones, sorry) and just wouldn't start. I initially thought it was the pump and was about to return it when I decided to check the voltage on the pump. Come to find out I had a semi dead battery which wasn't sending enough juice to the pump and other electronics. I hooked up a battery charger and VUALA, immediate start.

Just my $.02. you never know what it might be. :challenge:

It's kinda funny U say that cuz batt charger has been hooked up about 3 1/2 hours now,cuz ran it down cranking, it was fully charged when I started. batt is 6 mo old ,1000 Cold Cr Amps at 32 degrees.
I'm only getting one code
Did you have fuel pressure when U started ?
What should the voltage be at pump like 12. 50 ?

unknown at this time.
Unless you find a leak in the lines or tank or you got a defective pump assembly. The only place it can leak is inside the plenum.

When does the pump actually stop running?

also what is this code you get?

and yes the passlock system can be shutting down the fuel system on you.

would you like to try the autolearn process to see if that solves your issues.

if your security light stays on for about 10 minutes after a failed start then the passlock system is likely locking out the fuel system. it would start on its own and quickly stall out.

Happy days, :party33:
Got her running, holding fuel press, BUT it's running like crap Missing bad.
Before I got it running I had it flooded good from putting to much gas in throttle body.
Only code I have now is,P0300 Engine Misfire Detected
Edit : checked the passlock system the light goes like it should, well it's running
Should I let it run and warm up, with it missing ? I only ran it about 3 min twice
