Basically what happened was that I was on my way to work, just doing normal driving when the car acted weird all of a sudden. Throttle just didn't respond and gradually slowed down to a stop and died. The cat cranks over smoothly but doesn't actually start. This has me thinking that it's a fuel system issue...as in not getting any fuel. I will be passed if the HPFP died, and will definitely be bringing my car in to have that replaced under warranty. Nothing I have done to my car would affect the pump. That said I highly doubt that it is the HPFP...it's more likely to be the pump I installed, which luckily for me I have a couple spares on hand!

Anyhow, just figured I'd post up here, I am hoping it's something simple because if it isn't ill be kissing my Corvette dreams goodbue, well at least for a little while.
I hope its something small too, because you've gotta take for a spin in the C7....you know how I love me some corvette!!! Plus it would just suck anyway since you put a bunch of work into your 86. Hope everything works out for ya.
