My stock FP has about 130K on it and I think its about to go. Here are the symptoms...

-Hard starting (takes about 10-15 seconds to start cold)
-Doesnt seem to pull hard to redline anymore (seems to slightly fall off in power around 4500)
-Once in a while, flooring it with around 1/4 tank of gas in 2nd gear, the car will slightly die for a second then kick back in.
-When cold, the cars idle will drop then kick back in at lights

From what I've searched, these seem to be the symptoms of a bad fuel pump. The opti, fuel filter, Wires, Plugs, and Coil all have about 10 K on them. I replaced all at the same time when I had another problem.

What does everyone think? I'm about to order the Racetronix unit. My friend has the same unit and raves about it.

TIA

it's really simple and quick to check fuel pressure, so to be sure just do that. no sense in speculating :yup:
