So my fuel pump is failing, car keeps randomly dying and is really hard to start unless I turn the key to "on" and let it sit for about a minute for the pressure to build up. I'm going to go with one of the TRE-340 255 LPH units, I've read that they are good. Not 100% sure if my car has 2 fuel pumps though, it was made in 07/1987. I'm pretty sure it does have 2, so I'm planning on doing the in-tank one first, as I'm not sure which is failing, and the in-tank one is $69.99 and the in-line is $209.99.
At the moment the car is uninsured, and I'm driving my '80 Volvo beater. I'm going to replace the shifter bushings and install a short shift while I wait for the new fuel pump to arrive, and probably order a new trunk seal as well as that is leaking. I'll replace the main and o2 sensor relays as well, as I already replaced the fuel pump relay.
I want to know if there are any other basic maintenance parts that I should get, since buying the car a year ago I've done the rear brake pads, air, oil, fuel filters, spark plugs, and flushed the coolant. Is there anything else I should order while I'm at it and have time to work on my car? PO said that the water pump was done 20k ago, so I should be good on that for a while. I was thinking the distributor cap/rotor and plug wires would be good to do.
