Default Car just died

Hey what's up all,
She died on the highway while cruising the middle lane. All was well, then she just shut down. As I pressed the gas, it wouldn't rev. I coasted to the side of the highway.

I sat for a few and tried to start. No dice. Had it flatbed towed to a DIY garage we have here in RI. Its dope, but more on that later.



At the garage I tested the connections. I could hear the click of the SOS relay I have installed but no priming noise of the fullblown motorsports 340 l/hr pump. The pump's about 5 years old.

I got power at the plug that goes to the pump housing and tested the ground too. When I try to start, I got 12v using a voltmeter at the power and ground on the plug shown here(stock image):

It seems the pump is dead. Does that seem normal on a 5 yr old Fullblown pump. I thought it might go a bit longer, or whine out on me. Not just die.

Thoughts? Thanks

5 years old is not out of the ordinary for an aftermarket pump to die.

That's actually better than a lot of the Walboros out there.

Well, I put a Walbro 255 in today, so let's hope it lasts as long as the FB340.

She's running great so far.
