Ah yes, the SF cars are back on the road. It's going to be time for an East Bay drive soon. Come to think of it, it's about time for the 5er meet.

MAN! I apologize for not jumping onto this tread earlier...Originally Posted by liquidtiger720
New fuel pump works like a charm....cept it's kind of noisy, the whine is louder than I thought it would be.
Fuel filter is changed tooNot sure how much you paid for the fuel pump, I had an extra one when I was doing diags with my vehicle, never used....

yeah i got a new fuel filter and pump today, installed and.....NOTHING... i think the battery died since ive been trying to start it so much. tried to jump it...no better. im lost. right now it has a battery charger on it. im just pissed nothing has made it run yet. heres what happened. sorry to hijack thread but its similar enough it doesnt need its own.
monday i drive it to work, going about 70 on freeway it starts to kind of stumble or choke. im thinking to myself what the hell is it about to break down. i slow down and it does it a few more times but i get to work safely. i turn around to go home and go back roads and it seems fine. i got new spark plugs, gapped them and installed. on test drive it seemed better but it choked when i got to about 65.
tuesday im going real easy on it, about 65 on the freeway, it stumbled once and i got to work. it sat all day in 110 degree heat, started right up and was driving fine as i got on freeway. i got it to 65 again to stay with traffic, its going for 2 miles just fine....starts stumbling bad and gas pedal just pushes in, nothing happening. i almost get killed pulling it off the road and shut it down. wont start again. tow it home. We re did the plugs, checked to make sure it was getting fuel, but it wasnt shooting out very fast. got it running but it was really rough and died after a few seconds.
today - put new fuel filter in it. started it, it ran for about 3 minutes completely fine, i was happy. i walk to get a towel to wipe off my hands and it stumbles a lil and dies. wouldnt start again. got new fuel pump. 300 bucks later im typing this and charging battery hoping it will start and run. fingers crossed......
anyone have any advice, all is accepted!
and i would be even more lost without a friend named alex walking me through all of this

not a bad price at all. I would've parted with mine for that same amount
