    I have no clue what I have as far as fuel pump. I've never changed it, and I'm not sure If any of the previous owners did. It could be the stock turbo 4cyl one for all I know. What are some things I can check?

    ok, i just got back from driving it. It wasnt running hot at all, temp gauge stayed where it normally stays. Still runs pretty crappy if I give it more than 1/4 throttle. But it only does it if I'm in gear. If theres no load on the engine and I give it gas it revs fine, no problems. I...
