Fuel Pump Died.
Today my 89 GMC Jimmy died on the interstate going up an overpass. Luckily I was able to coast up and down the bridge and was able to pull off to the side of the interstate. I poured a small amount of gas directly into the TBI and the engine fired right up so I knew it was most likely the fuel pump. I called AAA for a tow to my independent mechanic. The current pump was installed in 04 and has lasted for around 100K miles. Right now I am recovering from rotator cuff surgery and I am not able to do any mechanicl work for at least 4 to 6 months. Hopefully, I do not have any other major vehical problems happen while I am sidelined.

rock...auto.... delphi or delco. I used delphi, and only have used delphi, have had great luck with them. the price at rock auto is amazing, I am not sure about showing up at a shop with the part already telling them to put it in, however.

MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE PUMP TO MAKE SURE ITS A DELPHI!!!
Shops have been known to say they are going to put in the better pump, and get a cheap one and charge you for the better one.

My fuel sending unit was errattic at near the full mark so I was intersted in getting a complety new fuel assembly. The shop called me today and said that they could not get the delphi unit at a good price so I asked if I could supply them the assembly and they said no problem. So I ordered the Delphi HP 10020 from Amazon and paid a little extra for next day delivery. I should have the pump on Tuesday and the shop should have it on Wenesday. I previously installed a spectra sending unit and was not really happy with it. This is an opportunity to install OEM equipment.
