Fuel Pump Problem???

Okay lately I've been having problems keeping my car running! Last week I changed the plugs because they fouled and now I my car starts but bogs out unless I put in gear real fast or press on the gas peddle. I think its my fuel pump because I suddenly I can hear it running when the car is running. Please help me out!!!

sounds like your fuel pump! I replaced mine twice and it sucks. Its not very hard to do but getting the gas tank out with a floor jack and some stands will drive you nuts! I like to work on my car but if it were to go out agian, Im willing to pay $100 cause im not doing that crap agian.
BTW, get a delco pump! dont go cheap like I did because it will cost you later.

Do not put in a used pump. It's only a matter of time until that one breaks too. Plus the work involved in dropping two tanks just isn't worth it. Just buy a new pump.

What all is involved in dropping the tank. I haven't had any problems with the pump or anything yet, but someday...

It looks like the whole world has to be removed just to get to the gas tank.
