I have a 2000 Astro passenger. When attempting to start the vehicle, starter just turns over seems to not be getting fuel. A couple shots of starter into the intake gets it started. When driving down the road and giving it the gas to say pass a car, seems to choke up/stall. If I just give it a slow increasing pedal, it will get up to say 60 mph, possibly more. Was told to have catalytic checked. Had hole cut in first unit and it exhausted fine. So not an exhaust pressure issue. Was then told by mechanic that I need a new fuel pump unit. Big price on that one. In researching, I find there are rebuild kits, even down to a pump intake sock to the pump.

Question: Think it is the pump? Do I need the whole pump unit? Just possible blockage from a dirty intake sock, or even if it is get the whole unit with everything for 49.00 shipped and put a whole new unit in and be done with it. Thanks all that answer this problem for me.
