    Stalling Fuel Pump Warning

    I have a 2008 528xi with 150k on it. The car starts and runs for about 15 minutes exactly and then dies with a fuel pump warning. The car will restart and run after about 20 minutes or so but will only run for about 7 minutes. Let it sit for hours and it will run the whole 15 minutes again though. I changed the fuel pump and that was not it, I also have a fuel filter coming but doubt that is it also. Took it to a shop and they said it was showing a crank eccentric sensor code and they needed to change that before going forward. They wanted $1200 so I changed it. That code is off and now there are a few other codes that I have had for a few months. These are the PO420 and PO430. What could this be causing the car to stall out?

    Well the fuel pump message seems to point to the fuel pump system, what did the other shop say about that. I would check fuel pressure. The fuel filter is in the tank, when replacing the fuel pump I would replace the fuel pump module also. it would stall if it was loosing fuel pressure. the other faults reference catalytic converter effencency

    Yes I already changed the fuel pump and it is doing the same thing, stalling out after running great for about 15 minutes. Would the fuel pump module cause this? Where is it located?

    The. Module I think would be right rear seat area, but at this point I would take it to the shop, not the one you previously went to and get it diagnosis
