Default Fuel Issue

My LX is bogging like crazy. It still has the stock fuel injection with just a cold air intake. It seems to bog when I turn to the right and if I get on it at all. I changed the fuel filter to see if it was clogged and it wasnt and also there wasnt hardly any pressure on the lines, just a few drops of fuel came out. I dont have a high pressure fuel guage yet to even see where the fuel pressure is at. When I turn on the ignition, the fuel pump seems to cycle louder than it did before. The car doesnt just kinda bog either, it bogs down like its going die. I figured it was the pump but Im not positive. What do you think it is? And also the check engine will flicker every now and then when it does it but it never stays on. Thanks

Default RE: Fuel Issue

sounds like your Fuel Pump is on its way out. go to a mechanic and ask them to hook up a guage in the car for the fuel psi and drive it around a bit and ask where the pressure was at.
