Re: [T3] fuel pump woes


as i try to start it (almost anytime, not just cold) it 
cranks over for like 30 seconds. it appears to be 
getting worse as well. the guy at the shop (reputable 
and honest, by the way, so i trust him) said that the 
fuel pressure drops off sharply after the you turn the 
key, it ramps up then drops off. he said it was because 
of the internal check valve in the pump is going out. 
sounds right for the symptoms, i guess. he said i could 
run it for a while, but it will die some time soon.

should i still be suspicious of this diagnosis?
