The fuel accumulator does nothing but store fuel pressure so when you
start the car, it has instant fuel pressure and you dont have to crank
for a minute for the fuel pump to catch up. If its bad, it wont stop the
fuel from flowing thru it. If you've narrowed it down to a fuel pump,
then its time to bite the bullet nd buy a new one. :(
But at least it will run for you. :)
