Broke down, Engine just cut off, had it towed to Firestone, diagnosis... fuel pump. had it towed again to my nephew. He changed the pump. then hesitates and sometimes stalls. Changed fuel filter. Same, no change. Just gased up with premo gas and additive. no change. what can i do next? And what is the extra fuel pressure for this van?

Would have to know engine size for fuel pressure spec.Did you use a high quality pump or a less expensive one? The cheaper pumps are exactly that...cheaper.I have had to remove many less expensive pumps for performance problems, and install OEM pumps.Let me know what engine then you can double check fuel pressure to be sure it is in spec
