86 coupe fuel pump

[Ado Sigal]

Start with changing in line filter between the tank and pump inlet 
(presuming that the pump is under the car, not inside of tank), and add 
a spoonful of ATF or better 2 stroke oil on a tankful. While changing 
the filter you could also empty the tank, and see what comes out, and 
establish if tank cleaning is your next  repair.  Use fine filter, like 
paint shop one or similar when returning drained fuel.

HTH, Ado
