I would suggest it is not the Fuel Pump because the car runs and drives. I would test the Ignition system and look for a fault in the Engine Control Module along with making sure the plug wires are not arcing across one another which can happen with old and dirty wiring. Assuming the ignition system is in proper order there is one part that is quite frequently overlooked and is not very expensive if you put it in yourself. The "Fuel Pressure Regulator" has been the culprit for more than one complaint like yours. The part varies in price but about $60.00 would be the going rate. Alas putting it in yourself would cost you that as having it done could cost closer to $400.00 as it is not exactly a quick job although not particularly difficult just not one to be done quickly.
Unless the return line is somehow pinched off ,you can't ,not sure if this is the TBI 4 cyl. or a v-6 .either way at wide open throttle there should be NO fuel. If there is at WOT possibly TPS
Sounds like the catalytic converter is plugged. Remove the oxygen sensor and check the back pressure.
This takes time to reply, please leave good feedback. Good Luck!
Sounds like you are loosing fuel pressure intermittently. Is there any damage to the fuel lines? Maybe the fuel pump is on its way out (loosing prime.) If you find this helpful, please rate, thank you.
Obviously, there is a fuel delivery problem, even though there is pressure; the injectors have to open to squirt the stuff into the cylinders. Got a code reader? That would be a good step in the right direction....accordianman
