Fuelpump?

[Volvostorm]

Was going out this afternoon, stated the car, ran for about half a second, then stopped, tried again, nothing. Thought it was the 850 flooding problem.

Whipped the plugs out, bone dry, nice fat spark, tried to get her to catch on gas, sputtered a bit, so, ok not ignition.

Tried the fuelpump fuse and relay, which clicked in, then tested the wiring to the pump, getting power there. Tried the pump itself, direct fed using a 'power probe' dead! Tapped it, and got a circuit, but still won't pump, so, took it out, and tried it again, it worked! :shockedbi Connected it all back up, the car startsand runs.

Now, does this sound like the beginning of a fuelpump packing up, or, is it something that will forgotten about?

the other week i had to get the rac out as mine kept knacking up.. everytime the pump warmed up it cut out, bought a new one for £170 but that didnt work so took it back got the money back and bought a one off a scrapper for £30 as it had all the casing where as the new one was just the fuel pump itself and it works spot on

Are all these pumps the same? i.e 2.0, 2.3, 2.5

I gonna go up the scrappy tomorrow, some info will be handy, bear in mind that my car only uses petrol for about 3/4mile a day.
