Re: Fuel pump issue?

OK, so yesterday morning I ordered a new fuel pump. Those things aren't cheap! Last night I went outside on a whim and tried to start it. It fired, but it ran really rough, like it was missing half the cylinders or something. I had to give it a lot of gas pedal to keep it running. I let it die and poked around under the hood, messing with spark plug wires and vacuum lines and such, then tried it again. Same thing, sputtering and smoking and nasty. Let it die, poked around some more then tried it again. Started right up and purred like a kitten. I drove it around the block and it ran fine. I'm so confused. I'll still change out the fuel pump, but now I wonder if its really the issue. I really didn't do anyting to make it better.
