Is this a failing fuel pump?
Is this a failing fuel pump?
This just started happening a few days ago. I would be accelerating than all of sudden I would lose all power than BAMM it would come back after a few seconds. Its also getting more frequent and lasting longer

Is it hard to get started?? Usually you will notice that before anything. Try having a friend turn on the car (but not start it) while you listen with your ear to the open gas cap. Listen for the pump to prime. Do this repeadedly for a few times and make sure it's priming the same every time. If it's not you can be sure you fuel pump is goin out. If it is, well, I dunno!!!

Doesn't sound like the fuel pump to me. Anyone else???
Is anything going dim when it dies? Is it dying at stop lights when it's idling or what?

Err, if it's a GXE, distributor cap/rotor? (That was one of the symptoms I had when they went... The other was refusal to run if it was wet)
Dirty injectors?
My buddy is having the same problem on his Olds, altho we think it's the tranny in his case, but he hasn't changed the fuel filter yet, so we don't know for sure.
