Fuel pump problem

[BMACF]

I'm not sure, but I think I have a problem with my Fuel pump. My car seems to be running rough on start-up (even on hot days, I must pull the throttle ... or choke if you want) and also at certain speeds, it seems to jerk (especially between 60-70 km/h). I was wondering if anybody could tell me what symptoms to expect if my fuel pump is going bad or if it has already gone. I was also wondering where I can find one (used or rebuilt) at an affordable price.
Thanks,
BMACF

Solution:

Sell the car to me. Problem solved.

LOL that's an excellent solution. But that does sound like it is your fuel pump.

[Mr_Diesel]

No, the only solution is to sell it to me. You will be cursed, and it will be broken forever if you don't sell it to me.

[burn_your_money]

oh, well if that's the case I would sell it to you then

Can a worn down fuel pump cause other damage to my engine, for example can it cause my head gasket to blow? Can it wear out my injectors? etc...
Mr. Diesel, I heard you were coming to New Brunswick ... when??? I'd really like for you to take a look at my car ... and possibly bring it back with you :wink:
