Re: Fuel System Problems : Help!

Ok...from what you said, I'd say that your coil, for some reason or
another, is not firing momentarily...2 reasons I say that, one- your fuel
pump relay is controlled by the coil, if it turns off, so does the relay.
2- your tach jumping....same idea..coil cutting out, tach runs off the
coil

The car will "cut out" for a second and then keep on going again.  I can also hear a "clicking" noise (just like when you turn on your signal light) sometimes in rapid succession coming from around the fusebox area.  I also looked at my gauges today, and when this happens, my tach will usually jump up about 100 - 200 RPM's if you look closely.

This keeps on happening more and more often, and it's really getting annoying.  I was wondering if this problem could go deeper?  Could there be a problem with my Fuel pump or ignition system?
