Workarounds Described

  • Installed clear hose to visually inspect fuel for air bubbles
  • Replaced lift pump twice based on pressure observation

Implied Software Gaps

  • Software that logs fuel pressure data over time and correlates with engine speed to automatically detect fuel starvation events
  • Guided troubleshooting tool that integrates model-specific known issues like filter housing and lift pump failures
