My vehicle died on me two weeks ago. We had the fuel pump replaced in February and this time we were driving, turned a corner and gave it some gas and it acted as though it was not getting enough fuel, air or something. My brother suggested the catalytic converter and we checked that by taking it off and pounding it out, it is fine, now we are checking the fuel pump we were told , since we do not have the right tools to test it properly, to take the fuel line off and blow into it with another hose and if we hear bubbles, it means the pump is bad. Have you ever heard of doing this, and do you have any suggestions as to where to go from here. Thank you
