Exclamation stalling problem

yep so my car is a 01 coupe auto ex , with just over 40k to be exact 40324 , coming home from poconos to my house about a 2 hour ride one way just about 20 miles from my house my car started bugging like crazy , i was trying to catch up to a white rsx which looked pretty nice , and imidietlly after pressing gas the car just started falling on its face , i pull over to check if everyting looked ok in the engine bay and it sure did , didnt see anything not normal , so i travel home going about 50mph and i shiet you not the car up the hills was going about 20mph , pressd the gas and the car just couldn't get the rpms up , going down hill was easy , when idling the rpms keep twiching like hell from about 1500rpms to a low 400 i would say , to start the car up today took my couple tries and even then it was shaking backfired couple times and when you turn the key twice just before you start it up there was the weird noise coming from the engine , got no clue if it was a fuel pump or something , when the car warms up and i keep the rpms in the higher range it runs normally i would say but the stalling still shows up if i put the heavy foot on it , after all of that i decided to take it to the honda (in passaic) and i will see what happens , i hope those ****s dont mill me over or anything i am sitting here already for about 40mins , thank god they got internet at least here , so anybody wana gues how long it will take them to find the problem ??

hehe it took them as much time as expected , first two hours basicly came back to me saying that my ecu needed to be reflashed cause my aem short air intake might have been the problem , so i said fine , they billed me with a 140$ for an hour and half of work of diagnosis on the car and so i went happy home cause i thought my car was fine already , that was till about 2 mins later when i tryd to do a burn out of the dealearship hehehe well to my suprise that crap didnt work out , the idle problem was fine after reflashing the ecu but the car would die if i pushed the throtle more then i wanted to , i went 3 times around the block trying to see wtf is up again with this , came back again and well am here for maybe 3-4 hours waiting and the guy comes up saying that my fuel pump inside the tank is cracked , ofcourse i had to see it , and after i saw it i can say that having 2.5 inch drop ****ing sucks , after work i am raising the car **** up and maybe even taking the coil overs out completly , the bill for the fuel pump is 450$ and the diagnosis is 140# which is basicly what i paid for the hayame coil overs , jeez christ dont drive over the bumps on the road people ,
