jon… stop being a pussy! you can change a fuel pump in a parking lot… haha… if it’s an intank pull the rear seat, there will be a metal circle with some screws… if it’s under the car, get a jack stand! those are easy to change becuase they don’t really require anything other than the pain in the ass fuel line release clips and about an iced tea carton of gas spilled…
you can check the fuel pressure at the front of the car also, to see if at least at idle it’s fully powering up… ti’s not the easiest thing to do, but can be done… ghetto splicing a fuel gauge is a no no, but will work!
listen to these guys that owned them though, i have no idea.
do you feel a good amount of exhaust coming out of the tailpipe… i’m still leaning towards a clogged cat…
i think the closest person to you would be the kid that moved to AZ or TJ out in Santa Cruz CA
