how difficult is it to replace the fuel pump

nah! This is much more entertaining!

Truly sorry I have been busy & haven't checked my emails.

Welma we are not making fun of you. We are only lightening the situation. We would love to assist you. I agree with the comment regarding a possible timing issue. Could also be a compression issue. These are more involved and it would be nice for a shop to perform some hands on testing. Either way we are glad to help

Accurate information is invaluable! Start from scratch-Crank-no-start....What is missing? Fuel pressure , spark , or improper valve/spark timing? The more info , the more we can help.

ha ha very funny! I asked because I thought I could get information that could assist me. Thanks guys... As I thought before..........most ppl enjoy being rude & unkind. Didn't realize we were back in high school. I know NOT to ask you guys questions or advice about cars.

Ok thanks. I won't go....I'm a bit scared to ask ppl I know, they usually tell me to do it myself or belittle me to my son who is 13 & just learning to work on cars. I'm not use to ppl really wanting to help. Ok; anyway she has no fuel pressure. I was told it's probably the fuel pump. And it's very difficult to replace it,( it's in the gas tank ) I just need to know if it's really that difficult to replace, should I just take it to a shop (the professionals)??
