My car tends to buck and hesitate at about 4k when driven hard. I also had a problem atrting it when I was low on gas but when I filled it up with gas it started no problem. I was told it might be the feul pump. Has anyone ever had this problem or know how to fix it?

There is a how-to listed on cleaning it. There is an inlet screen on the pump, and a round screen on the inlet to the chamber the pump is mounted in. I cleaned both and the problem went away.
