Symptoms of a bad fuel pump...?
I've always had problems w/ my car hesitating when i would go 3/4-FULL throttle from a stop, but recently I've been noticing other problems. I've noticed that if I take sharp turns and the like, I will get the same hesitation.... rpms just completely drop for a second, then everything goes back to normal. Does this sound like a symptom for a dying fuel pump??

Yes(maybe
),I know because mine would sound like the engine would die for and 1 or 2 seconds around turns and heavy throttle.It's a pain in the *** to get the tank out but it fixed my problem

My car would buck under any more than 1/2 throttle.
It was interesting to see the patches I could leave in an underground parking lot, with a concrete floor.
Instead of one complete line of rubber, it was like a series of dashes and dots.

When are you in Cowtown, NT?
You want a ride in the coupe still?

Yeah, definitely! I still want to at the very least see your car.
I'll be in Calgary from the 26th (Boxing Day) to the 28th.
Unfortunately, not very long, but I will be able to give you a specific time and date. We'll see if our schedules mesh by that point. I'll understand if you can't make it, the holidays are busy for some people.
Looking forward to meeting you.
