all this fuel pump talk

[Ron Wainwright]

  Listers,

  Yesterday while going to a friends house my 87 5ksq
died this is how it went
 was driving down the street doing 50 or so and then
out of nowhere nothing no power no nothing is the best
way to describe it coasted to the side of the road and
waited a minute to gather my thoughts and tried to
start the car it started so I went back home thank god
I was only at the end of the road by that time
 but I have been having a hard time starting the car
as of late when it's been sitting in the sun
it seems
in the morn it's fine starts up first crank but for
some reason and this happens more than not as of late
the car will just crank at the end of the day and I
can't hear the fuel sycling
 changed the fuel filter like 3 times within the past
week thought I had a bad one,
 Allso one day last week while trying to start the car
it wouldn't so I took out the fuel pump relay and
opened it up and took a look but everything looked
good so I put it back together put it back in the car
and the car started up coincidence?

 And for those of you who don't know me this has been
my car since birth so all the maintnace is currant
like fuel inj, hard lines from the inj to the
distributor, complete tune up(everything), coil,
anything you can think of I've replaced  so I'ts got
to be the the 15 year old pump which has traveled 231k
bout time to put it out of it's missery
 so I'm going to replace it with the relay
 and I'm going to use a Pierburg pump cost is $169
cheaper than the Bosch ones any problems with fitment
with these pumps? they are German aren't they? thought
they were.
 Anyway thanks for listning
