    Hmmm...First drive was okay, but didn't go far. Second drive was not good though...Same problems occurring, might be fuel pump...?

    i just had to replace my spark plugs cuz they got fouled from coming loose...it started runnin little rough so i pulled over and 3 outta 6 were loose. But easiest way to check fuel pump, least for me was unhook the fuel line from the filter, put end of fuel line in bucket/cup and have someone turn the key. If fuel squirts into the bucket/cup then i think its fine...i think if you can find it in a book i think theres something that says how much fuel is supposed to come out in a certain amount of time
