This happened to me about 2 months ago. No whir of the FB at startup. So I crawled under the car and gave the FB a few light knocks with a rubber hammer. It started right up. This happened a total of 3 times after the car was sitting at work all day. Has happened since. Still a mystery to me.

Today I went out to try and start her up and she wouldn't go, I removed the air cleaner and dump in a little gas and she runs for a bit and then dies. Obviously she runs if she gets the fuel. How do I troubleshoot the problem. What type of fuel pump is on these puppies, are they hard to come by? Is this my likely suspect? Any help is greatly appreciated.
