1998 beetle. Went for oil change. As soon as they completed it my check engine light came on. They checked code, was some emmissions code. Okay so the light goes out 2 days later. A few days later the car wont start, like it is out of gas, it's turning but not catching. I let it sit for 1/2 hr then it starts and the engine light back on. Everything fine for a few days then the same thing happens out of the blue. Just happened again to me. Car was fine, no light on then i go somewhere, park it, get back in and it wont start like its out of gas...let it sit for half hour and then it starts like nothing was wrong and the engine light back on now. What could be wrong? I am not out of gas. Did the guy doing the oil change/new filter mess something up? 6 Answers

I have a 1973 vw beetle and just changed the mechanic fuel pump but as soon as I did and turned it on it only ran for maybe a minute and then turned off. It seems like it's not getting any fuel 5 Answers

But I'm not sure why. Wondering if I put the fuel pump on wrong or if there is a problem with the fuel like or dirt in the tank so that it can't get sucked up. Thanks
