Fuel Pump? 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be James Lostlen on  Mon Nov 13 17:34 CST 2000 [RELATED]

When my car is low on gas, it takes a long time to start, and it will occasionally sputter going uphill. The external pump gurgles quite a bit, and i can hear it from the inside of the car at idle. after driving about an hour on the freeway, it continually stalled after i got off (it was at 1/2 tank) , but after sitting 2 hours, it was fine. when it is full on gas, it takes about1/2 to 1 second to start, and seems to run fine. Im wondering if its the in tank pump, the external the lines or what. what are some tests i can perform on the car to diagnose it? if it is either of the pumps, where can i get a cheap tested used one?

thanks alot,

James
