usually means the psg on the pump is going out. which cost almost what a new pump cost. and the shutting off will get worse wait till your on the interstate at about 80 and it shuts off. not fun. i would plan on a new pump soon.

a slight one maybe. if it killed after only 50k you may have a supply pump issue. that needs to be checked before you go any farther. and for it not starting when the pump goes out it wont kick the lift pump on at all.

Do you have a fuel pressure guage?


Sounds a lot like its time to buy a new VP-44. Although the wait to start light not coming on is somewhat confusing

If he had a couple of chips stacked and no fuel pressure gauge - you can just about bet that youre due for an injection pump and likely a lift pump as well.

Clear the code and see if it comes back.
