Hello. I have a 1987 GT with 112,000 miles. The past couple of weeks it's got to where it won't start unless I pump the gas a few times. What could it be? Could it be the fuel pump going bad?

Pumping the gas doesn't have an affect on EFI like it does with a carb.
Look for an IAC that isnt functioning properly.
