So my 100 has recently started messing up. It has done this one other time but I never had the complete no start. The sending unit would act up and go completely dead showing an empty tank. First times it would keep running no issues, but now, it is completely dead. The car occasionally wouldn't start but after a few key cycles it would start up no issues without any sending unit confusion. Last night/this morning was a combo of both. The fuel gauge was all over the place and the two times I got it to run, it would drop to empty as if the sending unit died. When it wouldn't run, the gauge sat normally. Given the fuel gauge and such were acting so strange, my only guess is fuel pump. All of the spark is pretty new and I don't see them all going out like this so oddly, and given the fuel gauge fluctuation I don't think it is fuse/key related. Any advice before I jump into a fuel pump this weekend? Thanks in advance!

Sounds good. I already have a denso pump and strainer on their way so that'll be happening anyhow, just didn't know if the sending unit or leveler would go bad or just need adjusted.
The stick plays up and down. Make sure it moves freely.
just to make sure it is the fuel pump and not ignition... spray a little starting fluid on your air filter and see if she fires up... sure way to make sure it is NOT ignition related
