Having an urgent problem, need your experience and expertise:
Using my 2017 Metris Worker Cargo w/ ~7000 miles as the support vehicle for a 7-day 400-mile solo ultramarathon run raising money for charity. Goes through mostly rural Iowa so if car dies it's a l-o-n-g wait for a tow in the middle of nowhere.
Run starts Sunday -- and today, I started the Metris after dinner w/ no problem -- and the engine died almost immediately.
It started again (and stayed on) w/ no problem -- but gave me a Check Engine Light warning.
Got the guys at Advance Auto to read the code which is P0627 - Fuel Pump "A" Control Circuit / Open. Of course now I'm thinking "Oh boy, fuel pump is failing."
Meanwhile, after a couple more normal engine stops/starts, the CEL has turned off.
I'm currently in Sioux City, IA -- nearest dealer is 85 miles away in South Dakota. No import repair shops open on Sat here in Sioux City that I can find.
I'm planning to call the dealer service folks in SD tomorrow when they open and I can drive up in a hurry.
But -- any feedback from anyone here? How likely is this to leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere, do you think?
Much appreciation for any suggestions!
