When my fuel pump started to fail, there were no Check Engine lights or error codes.

On most cars a solid check engine light means something is not working that effects the emissions of the car.

When mine went there was a loss of power and an unwillingness to rev. No check engine light but two codes pertaining to a lean running condition. The loss of power was intermittent.

I have an intermitent SAI code. The car generally runs strong when first started and may run strong when hot or may refuse to rev above 3500 or stay running below 2000. It may behave and run perfectly as well. It's a whole new experience every time I drive it. I have cleared the SAI and it stays gone for a short period then reappears even when the ambient temp stays above eighty degrees.
