Pump Losing Prime

I just pruchased a 98 Camaro 3.8L. The fuel pump is losing prime and its hard to start now. I'm looking for a 190lph Walbro pump. Has anyone replaced theirs? And which one did you use?

Re: Pump Losing Prime

It's probably not the pump but rather the plastic flex tube going from the pump to the hard line. You can cut an hole above the tank to pull the pump assembly out or do it the hard way and remove the tank. Here is what I found.....http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=1830991
