thing would start, run, stall, start, run, stall, start, drive, stall..> over and over...>

so i started with the fuel pump. replaced.>

replaced the O2 sensor, the MAP sensor and lil barometer thing that goes> with it.>

replaced the TPS.>

replaced the coil, plugs, wires, stater sensor and battery.>

replaced the relays, all of them, one by one. checked fuseable links, went> over wiring, unclipping and reclipping a lot of things.>

changed the oil. checked for a plastic bag in the fuel tank, maybe i had> left one in there when i changed the pump, who knows? =S>

swapped out the SMEC.>

re-tubed the EGR system...>

now it runs AWESOME.. but still stalled. and it would be hard starting.> turns out i had two problems.>

1) ASD relay was still bad. guess i bought a pooched one at the parts

2) the distance/speed sensor. after some reading, this was apparently the> problem the whole time. $5.33 for a couple used ones, and this car has> become near-flawless.>

next up is to fix my coolant leak cause i forgot to buy some sealant when

picked up a thermostat and a gasket. then i'll be fixing the neutral> safety.. gotta swing across from 'P' to '1st' a couple times to get it to> turn over.>
