Avant died and reborn again...

[the Spaeth's]

So I have been driving the car around and with the info on the BPV 
problem I tried doing some sudden deceleration and hard braking and I 
could not get a stall. The car is running perfect again. I hate to send 
her off to work in it, but I can't seem to find anything that seems out 
of sorts. Do these fuel pumps generally have a life span? Ours is going 
on 160,000 miles. It has been meticulously maintained. The fuel pump has 
been suggested by a few people. I really appreciate all of the input. 
Sometimes on this intermittent stuff all you can go on is a hunch.

Thanks
