fuel pump?

[Janesey]

so yesterday I was driving and the car just cut out. did it twice, just stopped dead. I thought it was the CAS but just got back from auto elec and he said its more probably the fuel pump, when it stopped I could crank it 5 or 6 times and then it started again, if it was the CAS I would have to wait for it to cool down before I could start yes? I remember the bloke I brought the car off said that it always mostly had a max of quarter of a tank. (wanker) (I shoulda replaced it anyway my fault). I did notice yesterday when the fuel pump was priming sometimes it sounded different. im gonna replace the fuel pump today and hope that it fixes the problem. anyone have any ideas? also would the fuel pump being on its way out make the car feel a little sluggish at times? any help is appreciated and sorry for annoying yous all with posts all the time, seems when **** happens its a lot of it haha cheers fellas

Check for error codes to see if the CAS shows up before you go replacing the pump.

When you
pull the pump out, have a look at the swirll pot, and see if the hose could have come out
