Okay I have a slant six with mechanical fuel pump. I drive the car EVERYDAY but every morning I pump 2-3 times kick it over and let it idle for a second then it dies. I kick it over after 2-3 more pumps and it is usually good.
My question is since I drive it everyday shouldn't I expect the system to maintain pressure? I suspect the reason I have to pump multiple times is because the fuel bowl is being emptied over night.
My next question is how do I know if my fuel pump is bad? What kind of pressure should I expect and how do I measure it? Running or cold?
