You are on the verge of the pump dying bro. I definitely would not be driving to LA on that one. I happen to have a good used pump if you want to throw that in for the trip. Works as good as new, reliable, and only one third the cost!

I purchased a new one from BMA last year for less around $225 I think.

Best post up a WTB ad for a good fuel pump 'cause yours is on the way out.
