MMMk the car has been sitting since friday morining and i went out today and started it and it fired right up. Went for a spin and it ran fine? Maybe the pump is stating to go and it was over heating or somthing the other night from being so low on gas.

Yup, that is for sure the problem. Upgrade to Walbro and crank up that boost ;)

This is exactly how mine was acting. Some days it would work, then randomly it would fail for a little while and then work again. I replaced the fuel pump and the problem persisted. Occasionally the pump wasn't getting power and it was a wiring problem, I wouldn't rule this out.

cam and/or crank sensors going, they can get pretty bad when heated up.

Dude, he said he ran almost out of gas. That is the best way to fry a fuel pump. A simple upgrade to a walbro will be fine, no way it's the CAS given the info provided.

PS--no rewire needed IMHO, unless you're running out of injector, but you were only on the stock pump before anyways, so chances are you're fine.

He also said that after sitting for a while everything ran just fine, no probs.
