Well, after having my car die on a major highway last night I got to thinking... maybe I need new fuel pumps. There was a wreck that caused stop and go traffic, and while idling the car decided to cut out. I pushed it onto the shoulder and tried to start it for about 30 mins and it finally did. When I finally got the car back home, I left it idling for about 3 mins and it died out again, but as long as the revs were up it drove perfectly.
The fuel pumps are on order, but I need to drive my car to school until then. Could I adjust my throttle cable so that it revs around 1100rpm with my foot completely off the gas so its not allowed to idle and die out? There shouldn't be any harm done, just decreased mpg right?
Is there a writeup on replacing all of the fuel lines somehwhere? how easy is it to DIY? I wana revamp the whole fuel system just for peace of mind.
