bad fuel pump?

[bowens1414]

Ok, so recently ive been running lean in boost and bucking, when car is warm. its not fuel cut though. also lately within a few months the car takes 5 to 10 seconds to turn over. i feel like its unrelated but about a week ago i got an exhaust for my car off ebay but the guy sent the wrong one so i had to delete the cat and could only straight pipe to the axle, and i had to cut off the second o2 sensor since i could not get it out. checked for boost leaks and the intake couple right on the turbo inlet had a crack. i tried to fix it best i could but dont have the money to buy new couplers . so im not sure if boost leak which i doubt or fuel pump or something different.

Test the fuel pump relay, check for fuel at the rail.

the car takes 5 to 10 seconds to turn over.

Check rail fuel pressure. You may have a leaky fuel pressure regulator.

Unfortunately our engines do not have a fuel rail test port so you must tap into the fuel line somewhere after the fuel filter and before the fpr. The manual shows a special adapter that you place inline where the hose meets the fuel rail. But most people get this kit: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/46054-Fuel-Pressure-Gauge-Set/dp/B000CIKCG2[/ame]
