Okay, my tribulations sound similar to the great "odd" post currently running.

The first start when cold, the car usually stalls out, and I have to restart it, and have to keep RPM's above 1,000 manually to avoid stalling.

This weekend, my car wants to stumble, and bogs down at idle when I give it gas, but only when it's cold. When it's warm, it rev's fine.

Also, I noticed while driving this weekend, I hammered it through my gears, and at about 3,000 rpm and up in 2nd gear (you know, the fun gear) I can feel a definite drop in power like it's running at 85% of full power. (happened once that I noticed)

Is my fuel pump going bad?

Whaddya think?
