    Not getting fuel

    Yep fuel pump, before i replaced all the parts in the fuel system, i had a rust issue. ( never would of thought of this ) the rust built up in the fuel pump and clogged it. that also explained the ruff running the last few days. new pump is on and she runs nice and smooth.
