Sooo... after two mos. + of fun with boost, this morning as I approach the
office,  I seem to loose power under acceleration but recover, stumble a
bit, get revs up, keep them up and then all seems more or less normal.
Leaving for home this evening, the car starts then dies.  Repeat 2x.  Fourth
time I keep revs above 3K for about a minute...a little smoke out the back
but it settles down, but idle seems to float up and down a bit.  Wait 10
minutes and drive home.  Idle continues to seem to float from 800 to 11/1200
or so but also somewhat steadies at 800.  Holding breath and packing the AAA
Gold card I make it home.
Wife drives me to retrieve the B car out of the cave.
So while I have not had a chance to pull codes, are these classic symptoms
of fuel pump failure after 162k?  Of course I had just topped off at the
Shell station 15 minutes before this all started which I suppose might have
induced it but I only took on 12 gallons.
Might be a good idea to do the fuel pump anyhoo.  I forget where the btdt is
and if there's a pump brand of choice if someone can point me?
This is great training for an Alfa Romeo huh?
Thanks for any help!
Ciao!
