If I just knew what the frig I am supposed to be fixing. And I thought math made me feel like a dumb-ass. After all I've done to this thing, I should know what to do from here but I don't....for shame, for shame....
I feel your pain. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> that's pretty much been my story between my Troop & car for the last year or so. comes with the territory of self-teaching I suppose - such is the price for gain of knowledge & wisdom, right?
anyway, you mentioned looking into the TPS - did you follow through on that?
how about spark? checked cap & rotor? coil?
MAF sensor?
have you had any problems with the battery or possible charging issues? there
is that voodoo relationship between the alt & fuel pump...
just trying to throw some other ideas out there for you.
regardless if your fuel line issue is related to the stumble, I'd make that a top priority to rectify. I suppose if the high pressure line from the pump was leaking enough then the injectors could be starved, but that would be a lot of gas spewing all over and I'd think would be pretty obvious.
The return pipe on top of the cap broke in half
are you talking about the fuel pump housing? I recently destroyed mine on my car while attempting to replace the fuel pump & associated lines/hoses. I found one on car-part.com for $30 under the 'fuel pump' listings - it said 'housing only'. you may try looking there. if none are listed that way, call a bunch of the yards that list the pumps and ask about it, you may find one for cheap.
