John,
when I suggested fuel pump I was thinking that if the car had been
standing a while, either the pump diaphragm or maybe the rubber fuel
line connecting to the tank pick up tube has dried out and cracked.
Sounds like your pump is doing OK under "test"- at least not bad
enough to cause your symptoms, - but if the fuel line is perished it
will also be drawing in air during use.
