Hi, thanks for the suggestions - Sir, I don't have any witty remarks, I don't get down like that - I seriously need to find out what the real problem is as to why my car isn't working. Any more suggestions will definitely help. I replied with my initial posting that I posted on 9.26 with all the details that you asked for -- that was the posting no one responded to. But just in case here are some more details.

Details...
Initial problems started in Octoboer - did not start
-replaced modulator, spark plugs, etc- still didn't want to start
-replaced ignition coil - started and ran fine

Problems in February; would run, but when I cut off the engine for short amounts of
time (less than 30 minutes) the car wouldn't start right away. I would have to sit for
5-15 minutes and then it would start and run fine.
- I live in Michigan and these problems began in the winter months. There were
talks in the news that the gas stations were watering down the gas so my dad had
me put some dry gas in the tank - was running better, but still did not want to
start right away.
- we looked into the choke system and noticed that when we opened it, and then
turn the key it would start, but after a while we figure that wasn't the problem.
- during all of this, i hit a ice mound in the middle of the street and it broke the
pipe that led to my muffler, made the car louder of course, patched that & ran
fine.
- So a month passes by and if I'm lucky my car would start right away if I ran into
a grocery store for just a second. If I try to leave after class (2-3 hours passing) it
would start and run. I felt confident driving it once i got it started.
- One day after parking at a commuter lot - for 8 hours on a warm + sunny day - I
tried to start my car and nothing happened. I waited for about 2 hours to come
back to my car and it still didn't start - called a tow truck, when it arrived my car
started and I still had to pay the man $40 for coming out. ugghhh!
- The last straw for me was the following week, as I'm driving it cut off on me in
traffic, the headlights, dashboard lights stayed on so it wasn't the battery. Three
nice guys pushed me and my roommate while we were still in the car out of the
street into a parking lot next to where I stopped (2 blocks away from my
apartment). I called my guy friend to push my car home with his car, and as soon
as he pulled up my car started and I was able to make it home.
THAT WAS IT FOR ME. I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE AND THREW IN MY TEG KEY! Since then I've had it towed home to my parents house and it's just been siting. Now I've graduated from college and to save money I don't want to buy/lease a new car because that means car note is going to be at least $300 because my credit is hit, insurance is going to be sky high because I'm only 23, and the gas prices now a days are ridiculous! I love my TEG and sometimes I just go out and sit in it and pray that God (or one of you guys) could tell me what's wrong with my car. My dad refuses to let me put it in the shop because of his past experiences "the automan rips you off!" - so he would rather have me deal with him replacing everything that we "think" is wrong with it. But personally I don't have the money to put it in the shop or buy replacement parts trying to guess what it is wrong with my car...Don't get me wrong about my dad, he does have mechanic skills -- my sister has a 91 'Accura and he maintains hers quite well.

My next step is replacing the fuel pump? I just wanted to get a second opinion before I did that? Do you agree with that being the problem?
