CHECK THE FUEL PRESSURE !!! DO AS YOU ARE TOLD. let us know what you come up with. normally a tps will not go out all the way they will devlope a open in certian spots causing a hesitation.</P>

Yeah you might have a bad TPS where your getting way too much fuel, or really bad timing.

Thanks - VLXMan</P>

I think you may be on to sumthin, isn't there an input required from the oil pressure sensor to keep the fuel pump running? Cranking the starter bypasses the sensor so the engine can start, then the pump stays on when the oil pressure comes up? This is the way it worked on 2 other cars I know about.</P>

Sorry for the delay. Yes, it appears that the problem is the Fuel Pump. So, it will be awhile before I will get it fixed. I'll post again when I have it running.</P>


Thank you all for your input.</P>
