Do you recall what symptoms you had before the pump went, or did it just simply die? More noise? Low voltage reading? Hard starts getting worst? Anything at all! I want to be absolutely certain before I go to replace this thing.

The car would bog or start to die as if the tank had run dry, then start up again and continue driving for a while like nothing had happened. Didn't really have hard starts, just couldn't keep running. When it finally went for good, the car (obviously) wouldn't start at all.

0 fuel pressure, no spray at the injectors, etc.

We replace a lot of pumps because people run them out of gas and burn them up. They die on the spot or die within a few miles after getting gas. I was swapping two pumps for customers one day. One in an 88 GTA and one in an 85 Trans Am. The Gta battery died so I pulled in My 90 formula in to jumpstart and ran it out of gas charging the GTA battery. I killed my pump the car wouldn't even start back up. Ended up changing three pumps that day. And then to make things worse my Formula pump is noisy but the pressure is good and its lasted 6 months.
