Last night I had to get towed home - 44 miles - $215!! Well, my car ('89 GT) will start and run for a few minutes then bogs and stalls. I'm about 90% sure it's my fuel pump. I think the initial start up gives the car enough gas to run for a few minutes then the pump craps out. What do you guys think? Another reason I think it's the pump is that when I first turn the key, I don't hear the pump as loud as it used to be. Any ideas? If you guys think it's the pump, what do you recommend for a replacement? My car is basically stock but I do have some future mods in mind. Nothing to radical as it's my daily driver. Thanks for any input or advice.
