Hi, thanks for the response-

We had suspected TFI Module as well. We actually replaced it first as it was one of those recalled modules on the fords. We also replaced the ignition coil. The spark seemed strong too. Thats why we then suspected fuel delivery trouble

The plugs were dry, so doesnt that mean the fuel is not getting up to them? We are probably going to replace the regulator today, simply because it should have been changed to an adjustable when the after market fuel pump was installed. The new fuel pump puts out more fuel....and everything we have read says a new regulator should have been installed to accomodate that. Because of this we are thinking maybe the diaphram on the regulator went bad. We are pretty sure that this fuel pump is still working, we can hear it when the key is ON. It was installed less than a year ago. We think we found somone who has a fuel pressure gauge we can borrow. We have replenished our funds here on these misc. parts and cant really fork out the $40.00 to buy the gauge right now. I could potentially buy one on Tuesday, but I hope we have the car running before then, or it might be towed for abandonment.

So, let me know what you think....We are at our wits end.

All advice appreciated!
