Did you do anything to the fuel pressure. Or your injectors, or the Mass Air Meter?</P>

not really, its just every time something messes up on somethin im workin on it is an electrical problem. electronics can be good (ie computers, tv, ****) but they have their place, and IMO its not in cars (besides the ignition system). </P>
