Could it be that the pump is overheating or overworking itself to the point were it quits and needs time to cool down before it runs again. What should i start checking ? It mainly seems like a fuel issue cuz car has spark and maf and all other sensors work fine, im going to take the car to my friends shop and check my fuel pressure , and prolly change the fuelfilter , maybe its clogged and its not letting fuel flow freely making the pump overheat.</blockquote>
