Any thoughts?
the fuel pump is an important part of a car and i wouldn't buy it used
one thing i do is when i'm not 100% positive of what is wrong i bring it to the dealer and tell them my symptons...they will diagnose the problem for free and you can then get a more professional opinion of what the problem is...it's likely that they know exactly what it is before they even do tests
