Hi guys, thanks for the good info. I'd say the part that urks me the most is my problem isn't consistant. I was sitting a little below half tank when the problems were most obvious, but even after filling it up I was still getting hesitation / bucking when trying to accellerate. At one point when I was taking off from a red light (Saturday) the car was moving very slowly. I floored it, in first gear, and watched as the rpms slowly raised. Once I hit around 3k the car seemed to have more power.
I'm going to recheck everything this evening. Pull off the wires and plugs as well as check the fuel lines under the car for any kind of obstruction.
Ed, those pictures are very helpful! I just hope it's a worse case scenario, as I don't really want to have to replace the pump.
