So... looks like the red 90q needs a bunch of parts... car stalled twice last night, and seems to be suffering fuel starvation when you really 'get on it'... and I have noted a change in the sound of the pump.

Looks like I'm gonna be replacing pump and filter, as well as flex lines. Question is, do I really need this fuel accumulator? Looks like the lines to it will need to be replaced, and I'm figuring that I'll just destroy the thing trying to take it apart.

It keeps the system pressure up so the pump doesn't have to run for along time before you start. Have you noticed that if you let the car sit for a while then try to start it, it stumbles a little more? That is becasue that pressure accumulator isn't perfect and the pressure hasn't stayed where it's suposed to be. It will give you slight problems and premature fuel pump failure, potentially.

and actually had issues.

Got atleast one other spare kicking around... was just hoping I could avoid having to buy 2 more fuel lines from the stealership.
