Noticed gasoline leaking from fuel pump. Changed fuel pump and filter. Car cranks up and idles fine. However when at a stoplight I depress the gas pedal to go and the engine "choke" as if it getting too much gas. Press too hard and the car will stall. Lightly tapping the gas pedal I can pick up speed but by then I'm at another red-light. Makes rush hour traffic fun.
