Default F/P?? How common???????

My fuel pump is going out will replace with a Granatelli FP.
My question is, i see many post's of guy's FP's going out!
Typical? How many miles do you guy's have on the stockers? Or, are you simply replacing for racing?
thanks in advance. BTW, my car has 91K! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

My 99 started getting weaker at around 40K at 3.5 years old. FP was good at idle and cruise, it just dropped off badly at WOT. I installed a Walbro 340 pump and all is well now.

Chris, what EXACTLY were your symptoms when your pump was going out?
My car takes a little longer to crank @ times.?
Cooler days are fine. However, when it warms up outside is when i crank the car 3 or 4 seconds before it starts.
Like you, idle is fine & the car runs great.
Also, had a FP guage on it. Car showed 56psi. went to lunch approx 1hr & the fuel pressure had dropped....... If this helps.
