Default Car started to buck and surge then stopped

Everything was fine until last night, car began to buck and surge then stopped.

Symptoms sound familiar?

Might be looking for a fuel pump if anyone has one.

Default check first to see if you have spark...........if you have........

then surmise that you have a fuel problem. I would hate to hear that you installed a new fuel pump only to have a no start because of no spark.

Try to check fuel pressure, not just flow. Sometimes the pump will continue to run for a while at much lower pressure. Not a bad job to replace.

Default Fuel pump, clogged fuel filter or maybe bad fuel pump relay?

Do the usual checks such as fault codes, spark and fuel delivery...
