You sounded pretty adamant about me replacing it. Any particular reason? Thanks

Any reason at all. We were on the freeway last night, and the car jerked a few times just whie driving along to the point where I thought it was going to die. I really need to get this resolved....

You really have to do something to start ruling out possibilities.

Get a fuel pressure guage, attach it to the Schraeder valve, mount it where you can see it, and drive around.

When you step on the gas it should go up from around 35 psi to 45 psi. If it does not the fuel pressure regulator may be going out. If it falls lower, the fuel pump or screen is probably the problem.

If the fuel pressure acts normal when the stumble occurs, then that's OK and look elsewhere.

Well....I broke down and took the car to a shop yesterday. As it turns out, it was the MAF that was screwing things up.

Well....they replaced the MAF sensor. As an update, though, the problem still exists. Only once in a great while, and not as severely as before, but it still happens. The car, however, seems to have gotten it's pep back. It's not bogging and struggling to get up to speed any more.

I guess I'll be taking it back....
