This morning when I set off for Morgantown, my car wouldn't start. I kind of had a little freak out, then I missed with it and fiddled with the gas untill I got it started. After I got it to start I had to keep hitting the gas to keep it from quitting. I didn't enjoy that because I know it's bad to rev a cold engine. After that start and warm up, it's ran fine. When I got home, I let the car sit for several hours while I unpacked and aranged my house, then when I go to start it up agian to get something to eat it starts fine. I still think something is wrong. I figure fuel pump or distributer. I know the distributers go out a good bit on these things. I've changed my plugs and fuel filter, so I know they aren't the problem. So were exactly is the fuel pump on a 94 GT? And what do you all think about what could be wrong? Thanks.

I would lean more toward the distributor than the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is going out it wouldn't have gotten better by warming the car up. If you have low fuel pressure it also would get worse the higher you reved the engine. Check the distributor for cracks which would let water in and kill the spark. Warming the car up burns off the moisture.

The fuel pump is in the gas tank. Not as easy to get to as the distributor.
