When my intake(low pressure) fuel pump went you could still drive it but hardly if you know what I mean. For instance, I couldn't put the throttle down or flat foot the pedal because it would just die. But if I slowly put the throttle down in increments with the engine rmp it would go. It was very annoying. Do you have a pressure gauge that you can connect to a fuel hose?

Just replace this & it should be OK. But I'm no mechanic. So it's just words of advice. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
