Welcome and an addition to the reading list..
Read through the First $100 thread in my signature. Great stuff for an older 8. You will have to convert the title to pounds...![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Many have reported that list provides your first performance increase. One thing that is soon the be added is testing the fuel pump. I just need to find an easy procedure.

@ nycgps,
I would settle for a hard one. Right now the options are to go to a track and turn left really really fast, or replace it and see if the car runs better. The Mazda manual is of no use. I have a know bad pump in the carrier, and a known good pump in the car. Do we know what good pressure is at nominal battery voltage and the engine not running? I assume a gauge that will attach the the QD at the pump is available or can easily be had. Is there a QD under the hood as well?
