After 4 or 5 seconds it would recover again.This morning I went to start it up, it ran 3 or 4 seconds,the voltage gage droped hard and it stopped running. now it only turns over and won't start. I will check for blown fuses. What should be looked at first? Re: Fuel pump or Alternator?

I'd suspect the alternator -- Sounds like a "brush float" condition.

One of the things that we "ask" if that you read the posting stickies at the top of both forums before posting. We also ask that you not post to both forums. Nearly everyone reads both forums and double posting just adds additional threads to the database that the moderators have to delete later on. Since you have answers to both threads, I am going to close this one.
