Default running out of diagnostics for this crap :(

about a week ago it started actin like the fuel pump was goin so i did the research and it matched up to that being the problem......well i finally got done fixin it a few days ago and i was able to drive it to work and when i was driving it home, it started sputtering and breaking up real bad again....soon enough the car dies.....i look at my battery gauge and its completely dead... well ive had probs with the battery before and i bought an alternater last year SO yesterday i went out and bought a new battery....after getting to work with no problems, i was happy.....But then i had to go home.....SAME stuff happened as before at around the same location of the trip BUT this time i was able to limp her home.......i havent checked all the connections for the opti, delteq, and plugs and such yet but idk if that would be the problem yet...... im just gonna go sell it now or something


-on a side note i noticed **** comming out of the exaust pipes.....its like this black kind of oily ****......idk....

did you replace the fuel filter with the pump also?

Did you check fuel pressure afterward?

Also check to make sure the MAF is not dirty.

If it's none of those things, then it's probably ignition related.

If the new battery temporarily fixed the problem, did you check your alternator output?
