Re: 1987 toyota camry was driving and went to to...
Are you getting fuel? Is the pump coming on? Do you have 12volts to the pump? Did you test the old pump to see if it was indeed bad and the cause of the problem?

If you are sure the fusel pump is losing pressure or stops working check the EFI relay in the fuse box under the hood, check to make sure the EFI fuse is not loose or cracked, locate the circuit opening relay it controls the fuel pump and try a new relay, if nothing else replace the fuel pump, another possibility is the air flow meter, there are contacts inside that turn the fuel pump on and off as the meter door opens and closes.
I called 3 toyota camry dealerships to buy a "2007 toyota camry fuel pump relay. None of them could find this part in their system. Nothing in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment show anything to indicate a fuel pump relay. Many people give contradicting answers as to where the relay is located and even post diagram layouts, which don't even match what the actual engine fuse box looks like. So far it is a mystery as to where the relay is located.
Does the car have an immobliser fitted if so it may have cut the power to it? Have you checked the inertia switch that maybe faulty? Check power at the fuel pump fuse and at the relay!
Check the fuel pump relay, it should be in the underhood fuse box, and could cause the problem your describing. Buy one at the parts store ( quite inexpensive) and try replacing it before going to the pump itself.
remove the hose to the throttle body and spray some fuel spray in it.if the engine starts then dies out,it is more than likely your fuel pump.
check that the wire going to the fuel pump is getting voltage and that the fuse and relay are good.fuel pumps will die just like that.never run less than 1/4 tank...the pumps use fuel to keep cool
I have replaced the fuel pump at least twice in the 268,000 miles i've owed it... if you have the rear seat off and youve turned your car on and don't hear anything than for sure your pump is not working... you would hear the hummm of a working pump especially without the obstruction of the back seat... your good for replacement
I had this problem for years when my 87 was only a few years old. Even though it was tested over and over, the distributor ended up being the problem. I got lucky when a friend saw it posted in a tom and ray column in their local newspaper. It was for a corolla, but same year. I told my mechanic to replace it. He said I didn't need one, I insisted he replace it anyway and I've NEVER had the problem again. Hope it fixes yours.
