Last week it felt like the engine backed fired in my car listed above GT, and the engine light flashed then disappeared and there is not much power now when going uphill or just idle the car stutter but hasn't shut off. Today I went to AutoZone for engine test and nothing appeared wrong on when results came back.

It backfired and low engine power is a sign that the fuel pump is going out but to be sure we need to check the fuel pressure. here is a guide to help and I have included how to change the pump out in case you need it:

Fuel Pressure 400 kPa ±34 kPa 58 PSI ± 5 PSI

You can rent a fuel pressure gauge at the auto parts store. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
