Try replacing the filters before you order a new pump. Better yet, just wait until your mechanic can check it out. Fuel pumps are expensive, and if you plan to go turbo then you would want an upgraded pump rather than an OEM pump. Most pumps go bad because of electrical grounding problems. See these articles on grounding:

Rotary Resurrection home of the budget rebuild.

Yes, cleaning the injectors is a good idea. Be sure to order a new manifold gasket (about $6) because attempting to reuse the old one tends to cause annoying vacuum leaks. While you are in there, check all the fuel lines to make sure they are not brittle or cracked.

Will do, ya I may wait. Oddly enough I fired it up today and it ran great with no stalling, took a few trips around my neighborhood and to the gas station,i. Find it really odd because I tried later the day with stalling issue and it kept dieng. The more I read on turbo conversion the more I'm shying away from it, it makes more sense to buy an original turbo it would seem, this is my first real toy/project and I let my ideas get ahead of me.

Getting ready to order thebushings do I want energy suspe,sion set part number 14232 price 150 on racing beat or do I want prothene bushing kit pt number 14210 price 139 on racing beat , is their cheaper alternatives? Do Theese have all the bushings you are sugesting to replace? When you said mounts did you mean motor and trans mounts? I can order those from racing Beat also. And I found toe eliminator pt number 14050 price 53.00 but it says upright toe eliminator is this the correct part? Is their cheaper alternatives? I learned before cheating on suspension Is usually a bad idea

Also I can't find dampeners where do I locate this? I think I'm going to order a bunch of stuff to do at once, I'm currently ordering the suspension parts you suggested. And the mounts

Well will order when I get feed back from you guys, than I'll set back some tire money, get an aluminum radiator , radiator and heater hoses and a cone air intake unless there's a better direction to and I'll do it all at once to see a real difference my current schedule for the month I don't get to drive it muchanyways, does the vented headlight do anything besides the aggressive look? I'm excited to redo the suspension can't wait to feel how this thing rides,hopefully it'll all be done by the end of the month with tires and all. I want to do everything mechanically and suspension wise before I start getting paint and body quotes
..looking good is cool and all but riding great is more important
