I bought the vehicle listed above which was stopped for a long time. I charged the battery and it did not work, so I asked a local mechanic and he said the fuel pump is gone, so I got it replaced with one from scrap. Then it worked fine for a day, next day it started accelerating slowly and even it gets turned off sometimes. I asked two mechanics locally and one of them told me it's the fuel pump motor and other said fuel filter.
Any idea why is this happening?

Hello,

This could happen for several different reasons. You could have a clogged in the fuel line/filter. Could have a fuel hose that might have collapsed.
Have you checked the fuel pressure?

Here is a guide on how to check fuel pressure:

Is the check engine light on? If so do you know the codes?
