Just went to look at an 87 auto, would start and idled for about 5 minutes. Wouldn’t take any gas, would die. Is this what a bad fuel pump looks like? Are they on top of the tank? Could this just be old gas? Owner told me someone drove it just last week. Owner passed 7 months ago...

I just had this problem last weekend. Turns out the rubber line connecting the fuel pump to the hard line had a crack in it. It would idle but die if you touched the gas pedal.
