    I need help

    I got my car back saturday and it was finally running after 2 years until last night. I picked it up saturday and drove it all saturday, sunday, and monday until about 4 monday night. I got to my mothers house and parked the car and turned it off and removed my stereo (its dead and isnt getting any power). I then tried to turn the car over and it would turn over, rev up, and then immediately die. I tried to turn the car over a few times and each time the car would rev up and then die. I let the car sit for awhile because it was fairly hot and came back probably 30 minutes later and tried to turn the car over and it turned over and this time it ran for a good 2-3 seconds and then sputtered and died. I went back in kind of pissed off and sat for about an hour and a half and went back out and turned the car over and it started right up. I drove it probably 5 miles at the most and then noticed the car started loosing power. I was driving at about 3k rpms with the petal floored going probably 35 or 40 mph and the car slowly got less and less power and finally stalled out. I pushed the car off the road and parked it to cool off. Went home and ate dinner and waste a couple of hours and went back out and unhooked the hose coming off the fuel regulator and turned the car over to check for fuel and it did spray fuel out. I was thinking fuel pump/fuel filter but I really just need this fixed. Anyone have any ideas?


    Radio:
    I noticed after getting the car back from the mechanic that my radio had no power to it. Usually it would have a red ring showing power but off. When I get in the vehicle now the radio isn't getting any power and the antenna isn't going up.


    Headlights: My head lights are going off on their own. I can switch the lights on and off sometimes 5 or more times before they kick on sometimes or the running lights will be on and not the headslights. Some times flipping the brights on and off would kick on the main headlights.

    update: I went today and got a new fuel filter.. why? cause im sure its a fuel problem for some reason and its way cheaper than a pump.. that was a hell of a job, for as easy as it was. I am pretty sure its the pump now, the reason being as I stated above it will work if I set it for awhile but then as I crank it over it completely stops turning over. Well I cranked it over and it worked at first but then after i cranked it a few times I checked the fuel the same way I did above. (removed the hose coming out of the regulator and cranked it over again) Now it wasn't cranking and reving, but still trying to go but I noticed when I turned the key over there was no fuel coming out until I let off the key then a little squirt of fuel would poor out.. If I turned the key over fuel should come through the whole time the keys over right? This has me pretty sure that its a fuel pump. Does this confirm that the pumps not working correctly?

    You need to hotwire that black connector near the wiper motor to see if the pump runs. 12V positive.
