    Won't Start

    I've got a '94 SE V6 with 197,800 miles on it which ran like a top up until two days ago. I started it up as usual, drove for about two miles, shut it off for about five minutes. When I got back in it started fine, when I put it in D to take off once I went to accelerate, it would bog down as if it were choking on the gas. After lightly tapping the gas pedal and coaxing the revs up, I was able to drive off. After driving about a mile, it starts to spit and sputter and threatened to stall. It did not stall, however, I had one hell of a time trying to keep it from stalling when i gave it gas. Stopped in a parking lot and shut it off for about 10 minutes. It restarted fine, but still spitting and sputtering when I gave it gas. The next day, it did the same thing, started fine, spitting and sputtering when I gave it gas. After limping home, it would not fire over at all on the following day. Turns over fine, just won't fire up. I have not checked fuel pressure yet, but I'm reasonably sure that I have spark. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what are some possible fixes?
  2. I have a '94 SE V6 3.0 with 196,450 miles on it. I've only had this for about three weeks now. For all of the three weeks it has been starting and running just fine. Parked the car overnight and it would not start the next day. Had good fire etc. however, it had no fuel delivery. Discovered later that the 10A fuel pump fuse was blown. Had a spare and replaced it, within a few seconds, the replacement was blown. Later, I replaced the fuse with a 15A, and it has been starting fine, however, I'm not driving it until I get to the bottom of this. What could be the cause of the fuel pump fuse failure?
