weird car died when driving... Ok so I'm on the way to the park on this windy 3mile road going 35-45 mph. Car ahead of me was going extremely slow. I get over and punch it, to pass the car up and accel was kin of poor. Few mins later car just looses power like symptoms of being out of fuel. I had more than half tank left. Thinking my fuel pump is beggining to fail? Injectors still stock, I do have 36lbs sitting now just hadn't had the time to get another tune. Any ideass? Might have to order that racetronix fuel pump kit sooner than in thought.

will do.. forgot to add that when i pulled over... checked under the hood and underneath vehicle for anything odd. hopped in car and started fine. Parked it when got to the park and drove home about 35 miles back home trouble free.
Could also be the ICM.
Yeah, screw it onto the schrader vlave of your fuel rail.
Testing for spark at the coil isn't needed. I didn't know that your car started back up again. You can test the continuity of the coil though.

Scratch it. I'll just order the racetronix kit end of next week. I don't feel like spending 45bucks to find out i have to spend the 200bucks i was anyways down the road for the new fuel pump kit. I'll just try and test the continuity of the coil tonight if i can.
