I have a 2001 diesel SX, 96,000 miles. I started having problems when the engine would not restart after a short run, until an hour later, when it would restart as normal. This happened a few times. Then it cut out twice in traffic during short town journeys. Now it won't even start. I think it's the in-tank fuel pump. There is current going in when the ignition is turned on, but no noise of a pump running, and no diesel drips when the pipes are disconnected at the top of it. Now I cannot get the pump out because of the lack of grip points! Is it going to be that pump that is the problem if I know that there is electrical current getting to it? When the pump does pack in, does it 'falter' occasionally like mine did? What are these 'rumours' that the diesel doesn't have a pump in there, and that it is sucked through by the engine injector pump? I don't want to just go out and buy a new pump unless I'm a bit more confident that is the problem.
