Hey Neil, I changed everything except the fuel filter. The car still has a short amount of coverage left on it so if the pump goes out soon I'll be cool. They have to fix a few things on the car I found and I guess I'll have them check that out. The funny thing is that they told me they did all the needed maint. work and fully inspected the car before it hit the lot. It was so well inspected the PCV valve was in need of replacement. I guess I get that fuel filter changed after I get the car back.
