96 Sunfire Fule Pump Issue

#1

I think that my fuel pump is going. The problem is that when I get it
started it runs for about 5 seconds then shudders and stalls. If can
get it started, I will drive for a few minutes and then when I press on
the gas I get no acceleration. If I pump the gas while driving I am
able to accelerate, slowly.

I got a quote from Canadian Tire and they told me that the fuel pump
alone would be like $500 not including labor. It this right? It seems
very high.

Thanks,

The fuel filter, plugs and wires were all changed in Nov 2006, so just
over a month. I think I can safely say that this is not the problem.
$1,100 just for the fuel pump? WOW that is a lot. Could this just be
because it was done at a dealership VS a private mechanic?
