Fuel Problems...I think

Hehe...

Funny thing is, I usually don't end up with any extra parts. In fact, sometimes I end up not having enough! Actually, I took off the dash to replace the heater core, and when it was all back together, I had exactly the right number of screws with none left over somehow. I impressed myself.

I've been doing pretty good, Chris; thanks for asking. Really, really busy with school, but I'm just finishing a couple of weeks off that was much needed. I start up again Thursday. I'll finally be done with classes in December. Hope your business hopping along.

Anyway, I ran the car all over today. Not a hiccup. Frustrating. Luckily I don't have anything larger than target load for the 12 guage. Course, the .45 might be pretty satisfying.

I'll likely just end up replacing the TFI for good measure (already have the part) and just drive it to Amarillo for a week to see if something happens. Hopefully when it does, I can narrow it down and fix it.

So...so far we have possible pump relay, maybe an EGR valve, possibly a TFI starting to go, maybe a fuel pump overheating, perhaps a coil going south. Any other ideas? I figure it's heat related because it's only happened after long drives, and it starts again when it cools down. But then again, I've got the engine plenty hot the last couple of days and no bananas.

Guess I just have to wait until it happens again and see what the fuel pressure does to rule the fuel system out.
