Don't forget...

These VE pumps wear out. They do some magic called ignition timing and we and can't see it, only hear it. I found a HUGE difference when installing a new pump and new injectors. More power, way smoother, quieter and a nice smooth sound.

Lousy mileage? Look at replacing these items if it's worth it to you.
