cutting out...fuel pump???
My car started cutting out, especially at highway speeds. I thought it was the fuel filter, so I replaced that (yes, I put it in correctly) and it didn't seem to help.
Has anyone had this problem? Is it usually the fuel pump or is possibly ignition problem? The car doesn't die, it just acts like it is having problems getting fuel. It is intermittent, too.
Anything to look for, or other possibilities?
thanks

Well considering it could be any one of about 15 things, it's hard to tell.

I found lots of possibilities and I think it might be the fuel pump. However, I was hoping for something along the lines of what is the common things that happen to Maximas. I was more or less looking for a starting point to check out, with the most common thing first. I looked through a lot of different FAQs here, but since the site won't allow me to search, my hands are a little tied.
This is my second 92 SE 5-speed, and this is the first time I've encountered this problem, so I was just checking if anyone else encountered it too.
thanks for the link, too.

This is an inside joke. Look at the date of the first post.
Mizeree was close. It was the rear passenger side coil pack and yes, I am a moron.

Maybe that coil was what was making the "strange sound at high RPM"
