[Shotimes] Fuel Pump gone bad after 2 weeks?

[Ron Childs]

The fuel pump secondary codes can be ignored. They are set when the car 
stalls. If the fuel system loses pressure when off, this would only affect 
starting. If you have proper fuel pressure with the car running, drivability 
should not be affected.
