not necessarily, when the one on the ram went out, it just sputtered and die, then it started later in the week luckily, so we didnt have to tow it 15 miles.
the one on the wifes car 03 malibu, we drove to my uncles house, shut the car off and it would not start again, period. tried building up the pressure, (turning key on and off) and notta. had the wife hit key on and off 5 times, checked fuel rail bleeder valve, no pressure. wouldnt start until i replaced fuel pump.
