any problem with walbro fuel pumps?

ive had mine in about a year, and after the car runs for a little while the fuel pump dies. i swapped out pcms and fuel pump relays. you let it cool off a little while and starts right up again. then it gets hot and loses fp. i think im just gonna put a gm pump in this time.

A lot of people have issues with them, but most don't.

Check grounds.
Basically all the "upgraded" fuel pumps for the application are Walbros, they are a good pump, I think this is likely still a problem with your car not the pump.

we checked all that. weve been trying to diagnose this problem for 2 weeks in our spare time. the only thing left is the pump itself.
