Hi Jim, remembering back to the whole ECT problem, it was never replaced because it was the connecting wire that was broke. I snipped a wire/connector from a wreaked car's harness and replaced it only, the ECT was never pulled so it has an unknown condition.

I have been thinking to doubt the fuel pump is bad because the car runs fine with the check engine light on in back up mode. I'm not sure but to me the computer in back up mode would not fix a failing fuel pump.

The spark plugs/wires are brand new but am I looking for signs of fuel fouling? This "fuel delivery" problem started shortly before all the other problems and is all I have left to fix. No book yet but I feel I'm at the point where I really need to have it.
