Over the past year or so i've had some inconsistent idle issue's. At times the car would start then die or search really hard for idle speed. I removed and cleaned the ACV(think that's right) per pelican instructions a 8 months ago. Doesn't seem to happen much anymore, but occasionally it does.

I just had the kill switch wired into my car and my mechanic(very good friend and long-time p-car guy), after getting everything done started the car and pulled the cord to check the kill switch. Worked perfect. Reset the switch and it started. He wired it to the DME. I haven't seen the car, only talked to him over the phone for a few min.

Put everything back in place and tried it one more time. It started then died, started, pulled the kill switch and it died. Reset the kill switch and it started, died and won't start any longer?

He said it appears the fuel pump is bad and that possibly killing the power to it while it was running a few times pushed it over the edge. Unfortunately, he's heading to Atlanta and won't be back until Sunday. When he gets back he's going to check to see if it's gone bad.

Positive is, it's in his garage when it happened, not me on at a track event 200 miles away. Just curious if there are some tests I can do over the weekend on it to see if it's functioning properly or not. I'm trying to learn how to diagnose problems, but no idea what to do/where to test/how to test it? Thanks for your time and help!

Lastly, if it needs replacing what kind of cost/labor is involved.
