Sorry for the double-resoponse, but I had another thought. In order to test this viably, what I thought I'd do is hook it up as we've talked about using alligator clips on the battery, so I can conne

If you have an electric pump, you can "feel" it running with your finger on it. If the pump isn't clicking as your engine is dying, your system is being starved for fuel and the pump doesn't know it.

Jason you didn't mention the fuel filter did you change it? This has all the classic signs. You would notice it especially going up hills. When you shut off the car the dirt settles and allows gas th

You don't have an in line fuel filter in there somewhere, do you? These cars can have them in odd places that you would never expect. The other thing it might be is some sort of flotsam in your gas t
