When I bought this car recently it would idle good,had plenty of power as long as you don't exceed 1/3 throttle.Anything past that,it bogged badly.I first replaced the TPS with a used one off a TBI I had.No change.Well I thought not,but tried it 'cause I had one.I never checked the fuel pressure,just bought a pump from Napa.BOY are they high,but I was getting the "good stuff".
Sock was extra,too.And pricey.That fixed it---for 3 weeks.It started to bog again at part throttle.This time it eventually quit pumping as I tried to drive out the gas,which can take 3 forevers on a Metroid.Bad pump again,Napa warranted it.I aint never gonna pay extra for a Napa part again.But it would probably be hard to get warranty on ebay.Well I figured if any boys and girls out there were having this kind of fun with their Metro,it might help.0-60 mph in....Whats today?
Also I've done a few timing belt/pump replacements on these cars,and I quit worrying about cover noise,thats a :shit

Please just call me; "Schultz"

I am not sure I understand the question.
If you are having to replace the fuel pump often,you need to look for a low current issue.
A bad ground to the pump or resistance in the positive feed will cause the pump to fry way too early.

Welcome to the forum, 992B! :coffee

What metroschultz said.
You can check out mwebb's TB Injector test for a possible solution. The Throttle Body is grounded(?). :dunno

see voltage drop testing in the how to area .
====================================================
if / when
you remove the fuel pump again.
make sure you look in the bottom of the tank for water and other doo doo which if ingested can kill a fuel pump deader than dog poop in very little time

you must replace the fuel filter
you should do a post mortem on the old one to see what is in there , if anything

have you confirmed that there is no fuel pressure at the failure ?
