I would install a fuel gauge to check that pump pressure. Had a Chevy with the 2.5L engine and it would run for a few days and then it would just quit running on its own. The strange thing that it would start right up like nothing was wrong. Did tuneups, but it kept stalling.

I installed a pressure gauge after the fuel filter and I kept watching the pressure. It never seem to change that much until I decided to accelerate up a hill and I noticed the pressure dropped a lot. I had always thought it was a fuel problem.

Drained and pulled the tank and pulled out the fuel pump and the sock over the pickup tube was covered with rust and dirt. Surprised me that it ran at all. Vacuumed out the tank and installed a new fuel pump with a new sock. That cured the stalling. I bought the fuel pump from Pep Boys
for around $50.00 and it had a lifetime warranty. Hal
