car hiccuped?
im not sure how to describe what it did but I will try. I was driving this morning and the car was moving at a constant rpm then for a split second it lost rpm (not power) like a hiccup. on the way home it did it twice. im thinking its a fuel issue. maybe a warning my fuel pumps about to go. it has been whining when the tank gets low. any thoughts?

Re: car hiccuped?
If you're worried about fuel pressure then pressure check it first. Which of course needs to be added into a tbi since the factory felt you'd never need to check a tbi. There are a few suggestions on the boards for what to do about that.
Personally I'd be looking into spark first. Bad module? Poor connection somewhere at the engine ground, distributor, coil, etc?
