Q: Vehicle is running rough.
I had an issue in my 00 xterra 3.3 it would act like it was running out of fuel but only after getting to operating temp. I changed everything I could think of. Plugs ...wires...cap...rotor..distributor..maf sensor...tps sensor....fuel filter...air filter...fuel pump...and fuel sending unit. Now it won't start at all. I traced everything back to the fuel,tank. Fuel pump is running but not sending fuel. I took it out placed it in a bucket of gas applied direct 12v and it pumps like crazy. But once it's back in the tank it spins but doesn't pump. What in the world,could cause this.
