So I was driving to a job interview when all of the sudden I push my A/C button and my engine revs drop to about 300 or so rpm. So i pull over and tried to start my car up again and the engine would crank but would not turn over. So I had to get my car towed to a local mechanic to have them look at it. They give me a call the next day and said they started it up right away and it ran fine. At this point I was really confused... I went to go pick it up earlier today and got it back and started driving away. I got one block away from the place and it died on me again so I got it back to the shop and he takes a look at it. He checked it over alittle bit and he says he thinks its a bad fuel pump.

First off, does this sound like a bad fuel pump to you guys/gals?
Also, if it is the fuel pump, what is the best brand to go with?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Sorry, Im done ranting...It just peevs me when a mechanic looks over things that should have been looked at in the first place.

Hey thanks for your guys inputs. I just got my car back from the shop and found out it just need spark plug wires... Thank God it was that and not something more expensive. The reason it was the wires was that one of the wires somehow got a hole in it and so it it ground out the wire (or something). While one of the mechanics was checking the wires (while the car was on...real smart guy) a flame shot out and burned the dude. (I guess my car doesn't like to be messed with) Not real sure how the flame shot out. But yeah, so its fixed!
