possible problem/solution

[CMF_fred]

recently my car when its on 7/8 fuel load will not fire up after going down o long steep hill, either in or out of gear, on throttle or over-run. lately its had trouble 'keeping going' whilst parked on a slight inline (nose up) it'll fire and disengage starter motor then die, I am suspecting fuel pump... am I heading the right way?

i think a pump problem would only show at wide throttle openings (mine will tickover with the fuse removed, and 0 to 1/4 throttle works fine with only a couple of psi of fuel pressure)

dunno fred, dodgy conection somewhere maybe ? reading the lambda voltage during the missfire can be handy for pinpointing a problem eh

actually from memory on misfire the fuel seems ok, so its under the dash for a while....
