lurchin' jumpin' and sputterin' (NEED HELP)
 
:help: ok. heres the story. at a red light and go to take off and i press the gas pedal and it barely goes anywhere for about 3 seconds, then it sputters and starts to go. :eek:

This is while running on the front tank. next light it does the same thing so i switch to the rear tank and it runs just fine. it has been doing this "losing power" thing for 3 days now and i am wondering if it is a problem. the gauge doesnt work on the front, but i know it has at least a half a tank. everything works fine on the rear.

does anyone know why this happens or what may cause it? It shouldnt be the fuel pump because it was replace 3 months ago. :help:

Could be a bunch of different stuff. Error code scans, Fuel & Vac pressures. might help.

It totally sounds like there's a problem with the front pump even though it's new.

You don't need a scanner, just follow the directions at the sticky at the top of this section.
