Well the more you fix, the more that seems to need fixing. Inga is suddenly having trouble at idle. Smooth starts and nice idle at first. But she will suddenly die sitting at idle. At idle in the driveway looking for a vacuum leak or such heard a strange sound from the back. Could have been exhaust so broke out the old red neck fuel pump relay and pulled the FPR. That way you could the fuel pumps without exhaust and engine noise. The main pump is not making the humming noise from last year. It has strange sound and making a gurgling noise. The engine has started suddenly surging.

Is there a way to check the fuel pressure. What else should I check before diving into the world of changing the fuel pump.

Regards,

PT
