How long to fuel pumps usually last? Do they have to be replaced every so often? I have a 92 hatch and my car is starting to feel sluggish. I have changed the fuel filter and the transmission is new, is it possible that I need a new fuel pump?

 

fuel pumps usually just quit.

Try some injector cleaner.

 

I'll try the injector cleaner but as long as I have owned the car (about a year) it has been fed 93 grade fuel.

 

Sluggish could mean many different things. I would suggest changing the spark plugs and wires. (if they are old...)
Usually on stock engines fuel pumps do not go our very often.....

also try a new fuel filter.

 

As previously stated,if the fuel pump goes out,you'll know. Because it won't go.

Try a general tune-up.
