Once again a new code, it's gotta be the fuelpump

[Denny]

Argh, ran codes again, only one, again, different one, again... code 87 "(M) intermittent in fuel pump primary circuit - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits"

Today, it was 88 and very humid, I was driving around town on some errands, and the SHO was driving like crap. At one point, I came to a stop, tried to get going again and I stalled out, so I tried starting up, the motor chugs and revs and sputters, I can see the tach drop from 1500 to 500 back up, back down, then stall, start up again, it's sputtering again, so I hit the gas to try to keep the motor up, BOOOOOOOOM, something goes, and stalls out, check lights and temp, all good, so I start up again this time flooring the gas and drop the clutch at 5K, oh yeah I was in the middle of an intersection attempting to turn, so the tires light up, and I'm chugging on my way, literally, once I'm up to about 40 the car is normal again, slower, but normal. Nothing usual after then, go home, check codes, and 87 pops up. Thankfully I ordered my Walbro 155 pump earlier, and today I scheduled an appointment with the shop, it's going in next Tuesday, here's to hoping... beer

Check your timing belt.

Timing belt? What should I look for exactly? It's fairly new, replaced in the waterpump job done by the previous owner

Well I was in a hurry and didn't finish past the boom. Thats the sound a timing belt makes when it breaks. Since you got it restarted than thats ruled out.

Whew, that's good to hear.
I don't know how to exactly describe it, but as BOOM, something went wrong there and the car lurched forward and dropped violently and stalled. frown
