fuel pump problem

[transparentdave]

I own a 93 ford festiva and it recently broke down. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the fuel pump. It won't start, so I had AAA tow it to the closest mechanic. Luckily its a local guy and I don't think he's going to rip me off, but he's not in until Monday so I was wondering if anybody had any idea how much all this would cost. I dont know and I definitely dont want to get ripped off. I researched how much a new fuel pump would cost and what I found was between $100 and $130, so what do you think about the labor? I would appreciate your help!

My festiva runs great useualy but it died abruptly once. I replaced the distributer and it started immediately. When the pump went bad it still ran but smelled like a bomb. There is a weep hole on the pump of a carburated 1.3 that leeks fuel when the diaphram goes bad. Hope that saves you time.(distributer is about the same price as the pump.)
