I will check the air filter as well. It has been replaced this year, but time has flown by so fast I can't remember right now when it was changed last (I think 2 oil changes ago).
I had my friend check prices on fuel pumps, and he said it would be about $160
So, I think for now we will change out my fuel filter, I think the fuel filter that is in the car now is a junky one from Walmart (Fram maybe?). So, we will replace it with a good one, I think he said Carquest sell Wix. And as far as I know they are pretty good.
After that, we will wait until it has that problem again and see if the fuel pump isn't engaging. Yesterday with all of the traffic, I really couldn't hear if it was engaging or not.
Another opinion I got was from someone at my work. They suspect the computer as the culprit. They think the computer got so hot, then a resettable fuse went. Then when it cooled off (when it was towed to the shop) it was able to engage again. I guess that makes sense. The computer was replaced with a junkyard computer when the guys did my tranny. Those good old cracked wires touched and fried the original computer, and they found one at a junkyard for like $60. So, that's another food for thought.
