wellstrung! +1 to Icey and Thecno Duck. Remember though your fuel pump probably is 25 years old and have given up now like mine did the other week. My car started fine in the morning like it usually does and I run 25 km to a scrap yard to look at some car parts. Car started fine again and I drove to a café in the countryside and cut of engine and had that coffe break, an our or so. Got back to the car, put on safety belt an turned the key. Engine sputtered and stuttered several times when cranking and didnt fire up as expected. Lastly engine only cranked without any cylinder firing.
Hmm, 25 km from home I put in my spare DME relay and cranked but no fire. Removed DME relay and put in the jumper instead but in vain. Pulled the big nut in end of fuel rail, cranked engine again but no fuel in the rag. So by then I was pretty sure fuel pump was shot and no wonder, it was 25 years old like yours. Had to call truck with flat bed to get the car home, no business at all.
Day after I got a new pump for 499 skr (70 USD) in exactly same shape as OEM, put it in and BANG it started right up again and have done so since. AND this pump is almost dead silent compared to the old one. So now I have my spare DME relay in as well as a new fuel pump. Hopefully I will have no more issues around these parts as long as I live....or the car. There is a chapter 2 in the same business of wich you can read in a thread "Fuel smell........" earlier this week.
Also, I will recomend you to get Haynes manual for your car and read, read and read again.
Good luck and welcome to this great forum!
