I am having an issue with engine performance. When I am driving, the engine will sputter and I have to keep it in a lower gear just to be able to accelerate. I have changed the fuel filter and air filter since both were overdue. After I changed both, I started the vehicle and it idles fine. When I step on the accelerator and bring the engine to about 2500 RPMs, it runs fine for about 2 seconds and then cuts off. I am thinking it is the fuel pump, but I need to make sure. How can I test my theory? Thanks.
