well i hear the pump prime up everyonce in a while when i turn the key on, and when it does, i get a little bit of fuel pressure, when i release it with teh shrader valve, i goto try to prime it again and it does nothing, so my fuel pump primes sometimes, my girlfriends brother is a mechanic and gave me some brake cleaner, told me to spray it into the intake and since its more explosive than starting fluid it should replace the gas while starting, well it didnt do anything, so he told me its probably my fuel pump

yeah, i got my car home today..

and i found out that the hinges for the drivers side door decided to go out, now i have to squeeze into my car otherwise the door hits the fender >.<

well, what should i do from here?

should i go and replace the fuel pump? or should i find out exactly whats wrong with it (and if so, how?)

blah, this is such a pain in the *** im about to take my dads shotgun to the car...bleh...
