I agree, that's what it initially felt like. I've got a fuel filter already. Just doing some research on RR. I can't get to until Sunday. I'll have to make alternative arrangements to make an importantant meeting Sat. I can't afford to get stuck on that peculiar day.

Yeah, I'm hoping this is the problem. But the more I research about this problem on this forum, the more I cringe. I'd hate to replace things if they are not needed.

I've got my fingers crossed. I'll start with the filter (it's been about 30,000 anyway), if that doesn't work I'll check the relay. If I can find a relatively cheap one, I'll just replace it. The distributer cap, rotor, spark plugs, and wires were all changed a few months ago (all new). There were done when I was trying to locate a rough idle problem. Ended up being a loose vaccuum and the OVP relay. I already bought a new Bosch fuel pump last month. I just need to install it. The last time my mechanic worked on my car he recommended that I change my fuel pump. He said a noisy working fuel pump is a sign of near failure. He was going to replace it, but I told him I'll do it myself. Are The fuel pumps really replaced every 3 years? They are kind of expensive. I paid something like $200 for the fuel pump.
