V40 Fuel Pump Issue

Hey, I've got a 2004 V40 gasoline with 149621 km. It's showing a bunch of fuel delivery problems: won't start sometimes, stalls at idle, check engine light, runs rough, and drinks fuel. Code reader says fuel pump. Could it just be a bad cable or plug?

Hmm, sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my V40. Was it throwing any specific codes, or just a general fuel pump error?

Thanks. The code was pretty generic, just saying something's up with the fuel pump circuit. Did you check the cable or plug?

I poked around a bit, but honestly, I'm not that mechanically inclined. It could be the connection. I ended up taking mine to a workshop. Best money I've spent, saved me from making things worse.

Appreciate the advice. Took it to a shop, and it was a corroded connector. Cost me 95€ to fix. Thanks again!
