I wanted to make sure before I go and drop $250 on fuel pumps.
This just started two days ago. When I start the car the engine starts and the rpm drops down until the car stalls unless I tap the gas a bit before it gets too low. If I then start the car again it will run fine and remain running. I have noticed that the car has a slightly rough idle that jumps up and down about 150rpm when the car hasn't been run for a few hours before, also.
I'm thinking one or both of my fuel pumps (there are two on '87 cars right?) may be on their way out. Is there any easy way to tell which one might be best to replace or should I just go and do both if I am right about the pump causing the problem?
Thanks for the help.
