Let me dis-spell this one once again. There's no logic to this old fable....the tank is pressurized, hence, the fuel will get sucked up whether it's full or empty. If there's deposits in your tank they will get sucked up whenever. Also there's a little thing called a pick up screen in your tank. It like a pre-filter-filter. Now unless you've got suger poured into your tank, or you dumped some dirt in there, deposits of notable size are not a concern. The old deposit myth I believe is something that came from the old LEADED fuel days where large amounts of depositis are far more common and require a more strict maintenance schedule. Someone confirm this.....
Change your fuel filter, and then check your fuel pressure with the appropriate guage. If you're showing poor fuel pressure readings, replace pump. Then re-check. As far as where to check your fuel pressure from, plug the gauge into the line that feeds your fuel rail. This is after your filter but before your FPR.
This is all of course AFTER you replace the filter and drive it to see if it's still running bad.
As a side note:
I have been having poor acceleration issues and decided to replace the 16 year old, 200k mile pump with a walbro. Car pulls hard now with no hesitation. I also had this problem with my old S14 and my old 86 Accord back in the day....new pump fixed both porblems. Hope this helps.
