Damn car will be the death of me.
I have what seems to be a fuel delivery problem, let me describe it.
Usually when cold it has a little trouble idling, I have to keep my foot in it for about 30 seconds. Once it's warm it will run but have nasty holes in the fuel delivery. Pushing on the accelerator I will sometimes feel what seems like a miss on my way over 3000 rpm. When its not doing that it runs great, no missing or anything. Once I've drove for a little bit it will buck and feel like it's shutting down then all the sudden lurch forward and run fine. Then it will go through the whole process again. I'm thinking fuel pump bailing out or maybe fuel pressure regulator? Just seeing if anyone has experienced this or has suggestions on where to start looking. I'm going to tackle it this afternoon.
Thanks guys

Fuel pump keeps it running now but it runs like crap. I think my injectors are bad now too. It will cut in and out while driving at any speed. Does anyone have any ideas??
The damn thing will run fine then cut out for a second then come back to normal.
