    Breaking down is usually a sign of a bad spark plug lead or spark plug. That's the things I would look at first.
    The fuel pump is in the fuel tank, which needs to be removed to access the pump.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Exactly the same thing happens to me mate, when at low revs just wants to splutter almost feeling like its on stalling point.
    The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it.
