Hi:I recently had a problem with my fuel pump.For some unknown reason it stopped pumping gas to the carborator.I replaced it with a new one,but after several days the new one stopped working also,took the new one off again,and ,put the old one back on it worked for a few days,and stopped working again.The mechanic put another carborator on the car,and exchanged the new fuelpump,for another new fuelpump it worked fine for a few days,but the new pump stopped working again.The mechanic replaced the new fuel pump with the old one again,he also put a new gasline filter on,that was about three days ago,everything seems fine,so far.I won't know for sure,just have to wait,and see what happens,meanwhile,eversince the fuel pump started acting up,when ever I turn the heater fan on in the car I get a strong smell of exhaust fumes in side the car.The mechanic put a new muffler on,because it had a hole in it,he also replaced the donut gasket up on the manifold,he checked the rest of the pipe,and everything else is fine.There's no holes in the floor of the car,or in the trunk,none of the hoses are leaking,but i still get the smell of exhaust fumes inside the car when ever I turn on the heater fan,when I turn off the heater fan there's no smell.I wonder can someone tell me what the problem is with my car,really appreciate it.Thanks. Slade.

I have a 1993 Ford Escort GT. It has 129,000 miles on it and it seems to run fine, until I come to a stop. When I pull in the clutch and the car begins to slow down it dies on me. This doesn't happen every time, but often. I tried down shifting when coming to a stop, which helps some, but when the clutch is pulled in and it stops, the car dies. What are the possibilities causing this. Appreciate any help.
