You don't have to worry about the fuel pump code. The code usually means your car was stalled at some point. Clear the codes, and run the test again. If the code comes up, then there's something wrong, but otherwise, I think you are good to go.

Crank sensor.... You can't see it, and it takes time to get it replaced. It's under the lower timing belt cover right above crank. You will have to do front 60k, but I'm not 100% sure it is crank sensor so yeah.

Oh alright, so I will do that 60K once I get some money. I cleared the codes and the code comes up again, I think its just the constant power running to the fan and the fuel pump. I think that would make sense.

Yeah it does make sense. If it is wired like you described.

I searched through forum, and it does seem like leaky water pump causing car to stall. Does it start right away after it dies? or does it take sometime? or mixed? haha

Oh and can you hear fuel pump prime? any odd prime noise?

99% of the time it starts right up. But one time it died and I had to wait 5 minutes to start it back up, I didn't let it warm up that morning though. So I'm guessing that could have been why I didn't start up again :p

I am not sure what you mean by the fuel pump prime? lol.

Hm.. I can't really tell what is causing the stall, but your best bet would be replacing parts(crank sensor would be first thing to change). You could try to clean MAF sensor, IAB, and other sensors that can be reached easily.

You turn the key to ON position you can hear fuel pump noise. It's like whirring noise. It should be a constant good whirring noise. Haha

I do hear a constant whirring. I think it might be the radiator fan though. I will take a look tomorrow when its light out again :p
