Well for the past year my car has been considerably slower than it used to be. I changed almost every part I could to no result. Matter of fact I havent heard or felt my secondaries in a year. But in the last three weeks its gotten even slower. I got beat by a stock atx that set me out 4 cars. I used to set him out 2. But anywas on the way home I noticed my speed was dropping but my rpm's stayed the same. I was at 60 and droped 3rd but the rpms rose car still slowed. Next thing I know it cut off. I coasted off the highway and tried to restart. nothing. I called protech auto in gb, md and he told me it my be my regulator or a host of other things wrong instead of the pump. But I ran the codes before it went out and it gave me 95,56,59,66,61. I turned the key to the on position and the pump didnt prime silent. Should I just replace the pump or pay the guy for the diagnostic?

Does anybody no where I can get one like in the next two days?I would like to upgrade so i dont want to get it from the local parts store.

theres a little pressure thing right in the middle of the intake manifold(looks like a valve stem on a tire),simply check it the same way you would tire presure,or a fuel pressure tester if you have it,it should be about 40psi while engine is running,then shut your car off,and wait a min or so and check it again it should hold a good amount of presure,if either is off,go ahead and change you pump....FUEL FILTER TOO!! be sure to reset you computer afterwords also


also if you find that your fuel pump is bad,
id think of getting a new set of spark plugs too,sence you let it go so long the lean condition could have caused your plugs to foul i use Autolite2x platnum to replace
