What is wrong with a fuel pump if banging on the tank can bring it back to life momentarily? Is there usually some kind of an electrical short inside it? I have a genuine ACDelco (Mexican version, made in China) fuel pump and it is already going out after 4 months. I even changed the connector like the TSB recommends. I guess I'll have to suck it up and buy the American version which gouges the sh*t out of me because the whole module is included but not needed.

99% sure thats the pump, classic electric motor failure symptom. We used to diagnose window motors/wiper motors the same way, bang on the motor and it starts to work...typical of todays parts, i own my own shop now and worked for 15yrs at a dealership and the junk we get from aftermarket vendors is rediculous, espescially fuel pumps, starters, alternators...any electrical part we almost always have to put on 2 or 3 and when i was at the "stealership" as many like to refer to it we never had part failures...of course you pay twice as much.

Thanks for the replies. I will do some online shopping tomorrow.
Yeah I put a cheapo Walbro 255 in my truck over 3 years ago and it's still running stong. I just had to chop the crap out of the bucket to make the sock fit and the single-inlet is kind of a turn-off.
