    Fuel Pump Failing?

    Took a thirty minute trip last weekend to meet a buddy. About an hour and a half later we parted ways. My 97 SE fired right up made it about 300’ and started bucking, surging, and then died. I had it towed back to the house, and it started right up so I could put it in the garage. I’m fairly...

    Wheeler’s project that he didn’t want…
