97-fuel pump location
my car has been hard to start unless its the 2nd or 3rd attempt then if fires right up and runs perfect..i have changed the fuel pressure regulator and that hasnt fixed it..i check fuel pressure and it falls off quickly
thought i would change fuel pump but not sure which tank its in..i assume its the right side cause the left is riveted in and the right has bolts..am i right?? should i replace the pump or just clean the filter screeen....ps..changed fuel filter also thanks
