Fuel Pump? Inline Pump? or just plain trouble? 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Marcia on  Fri Jan 23 06:30 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Yikes! My engine started sputtering, cutting out, a few days ago. Then, suddenly, was fine, but when I went to start it the next time, it would not start. The fuse for the main fuel pump was crispy, but not completely burnt out, but I changed it out. Still no start so I had the car towed home.

Since I'm pretty new to car repair, where do I go from here? There was sort of a buzzy hum at first when the key was turned on, then nothing. I'm thinking fuel pump, but... Shall I change it out? Is it a hard thing to do? Or is there something else that should be screened? Shall I just take it to the mechanic?

Thanks so very much for any help!!! Marcia
