Put in a new fuel pump car runs fine for the first drive stop and starts up for the second drive. Park it and go back after a time and car will not get fuel to start happened the same way twice. put new fuel pump in both times. start the car several times before driving once new part is installed. only have this problems after it has been driven for a while, then when you try to start it again will not get fuel to start.

Good morning,

How did you determine it was the pump that failed? did you do a pressure test?

Did you verify voltage to the pump when it would not start?

I doubt three pumps have failed all with the same issue. I would start by checking voltages at the pump when it will not start. it could be the connector or a ground connection that you change every time you change the pump.
