Well I have two issues as of now, and want to make sure I'm following the right path.

Situation A. At Idle the Idle will lope, basically a hickup sounds like I miss I suppose. Also at times specifically starting up at a light, it seems I have to really run up the rpms before taking off, otherwise the engine will stumble, and have this same "missing" sound/feeling.
I believe this to be my Coil/wires/plugs (when I do one I'll be doing them all)

Situation B. Now forthe other issue, from time to time when I fill up (engine off key off) when I turn the car back on the guage still reads empty...
To go along with this issue, when my fuel guage reads "50 miles to empty" The car runs like its almost out of gas

I believe that situ A. Is related to the coil, I have 80k+
miles
and situ b. is related to the fuel pump.

Any insite? I was thinking of pulling the fuel pump, but until I can get the back seat out... its not happneing.

Ignition should give you CE light codes for misfires. Get a $40 fuel pressure gauge to check to see if the fuel pump is bad.
