Default posible fuel pump problem

Can anyone help.

I am having problems with my old saab 900 (not turbo) not starting. It turns over but doesnt appear to be getting fuel. It will fail to start for a week or two then will start and run for another month before stopping again. Mr AA man said it was the fuel pump. Can anyone confirm if this is common and if this sounds like a fuel pump problem.

Cheers[/align]

did you try hitting the fuel tank from underneath? If it starts immediately after than it's the pump...

You should also check the fuel line check valve.
