That definately sounds like the fuel pump is on its dying days. All my 5.0 cars did it when the fuel pump decided it wanted to take a permanent vacation.

really but the car only has 57 k miles on it... that fast it will go out i mean its the orig engine and everything but... idk

with a bad filter I've seen a new pump go out in about 10hrs of operation, so mileage is kind of hit and miss.

1989Gt. · May 19th, 2008, 09:30 PM

that old fuel filter might have done the pump in. sounds like pump overheats and shuts off

add some lucas fuel injector cleaner into your gas and let the car run for a bit to see what it does. or you can use sea foam and add half the can in your tank and half through the vaccum line to see if you get any improvement, its a inexpensive attempt to fix the problem. both products together are like less than 10$ from any local parts store
