For those of you who did not get a recall notice, or else ignored the notice
the fuel pump recall is an important one.  Basically, the wiring for the fuel
pump relay is not heavy enough to handle the fuel pump current for long periods
of time.  The fix is a simple jumper which bypasses the fuse box, and puts a
separate fuse/harness for the fuel pump relay.  The symptoms are: bad fuel
pressure, unreliable starting etc.  When the connection is completely bad, there
are two possible problems.  Your car will no longer start, and will need to be
towed at the least convienent time (either during a "hot date" or at the
furthest distance from a pay phone.)  And if you are really unlucky, your fuse
box will catch on fire while you are driving on the freeway.  My car chose both
of the above problems, the fuse box started to burn up while on a "hot date"
