I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 200K MILES ON IT. NOW ITS 300K. IM PLANNING TO TRAVEL A LONG DISTANCE SOON. IM WORRIED MY FUEL PUMP OR ALTERNATOR WILL FAIL. HOW MANY MILES DOES A FUEL PUMP AND ALTERNATOR NEED BEFORE REPLACEMENT? Most of the other parts I have already replaced. I DONT WANT TO CHANGE THE PARTS WITHOUT ASKING THE EXPERTS COZ I KNOW THE PUMP IS COSTLY. TNX PROS.

Well, they are meant to last a very long time.

You can test the fuel pump with a pressure/volume test. And you can test the alternator with an AVR test. If they both pass, I wouldn't bother replacing them.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
