96 sebring 2.5, died as I rolled to a stop sign, no noise,. Started it back up and it was misfiring badly then loud POP from the intake just before she died. The car will roll forward in D 10 mph tops back to my house, but if I give the pedal any more than a love tap and it dies immediately. All cylinders are firing and no DTCs. ??? Im a 1st yr college auto student and Im guessing fuel pump, ill test it soon, but id like an opinion from yall. Thanks in advance, btw ive heard nothing but bad things about sebrings.

Use a fuel pressure gauge and test the fuel pressure.
Here are the specs on it.


Fuel Pressure

Note: Engine at curb idle.
Regulated (vacuum hose connected) 270 kPa (38 psi)
Unregulated (vacuum hose disconnected) 330 - 350 kPa (47 - 50 psi)
