Fuell problem?
My fuell pump died on me a couple of days ago. I replaced the pump, strainer and fuell filter. Drove fine untill the tank got down to 1/4 of a tank and the car seemed like it had a miss or a fuell delivery problem( car would shake, alot ) Filled the tank up. High test like always, and the car ran great. Now wile shifting into 2nd/ 3rd around 4k, 5k the car seems to have a slight stumble. Not nearly as close as before, but its there.
Could it be a bad fuell pump or do you think it will go away? And for those who have replaced the pump; The rubber around the pump, do you need it, or is it for sound? I left it off because the new pump didn't come with one. :cheers:

Re: Fuell problem? (redfast)
You should instal a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and tape the gauge to the windshield, then take the car for a ride. You'll be able to see if the pump is the cause because the pressure will fall off if it is.
Otherwise, you'll just be guessing.

Re: Fuell problem? (rick lambert)
I'd bet on some water in the tank-try some Heat, or some other additive to get rid of water in tank-since water settles to the bottom :thumbs:
This would make sence why it was running bad when the tank got lower. And why its getting better.
:lol: me Thanks :thumbs:
