What was found

DURING CLIMBOUT, NGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. INSTRUCTOR PILOT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO ITS DEPARTURE WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE RAN THE ENGINE ON THE GROUND AND NOTED THE FUEL PRESSURE TO BE LOW. REPLACING THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP RESOLVED THE ISSUE.
