O.K., you guys ready for this....I have officially earned the right to be the biggest dumb <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> on the "wire".

I changed the CAP & wires today and voila....picki is happy. No more spitting, sputtering, farting around.

I'm not sure this was the problem all along....who knows, the Fuel Pump Assembly was bad but pressure was always good. Initially I had changed the Rotor, Wires, Plugs, and even the Coil but never changed the Cap cuz in a dark garage I didn't see any spark where there shouldn't be.

The only issue I have now is that the idle is still high especially while in park (2500). I can push on the throttle body and reduce it but not when I try to kick it down with the pedal. I'll bring it in to school tomorrow and see what we can do about that. I also did put in another BPT and I've got an EGR to put in as well. Mine is pretty rusty and I came across a much better one so I'll switch them out.

If I just spent all this time, money, and aggrevation for a $5.00 part, I will forever carry the shame, shame, shame.

I send a huge "THANK YOU" to all who've been patient with me, and concerned enough to chime in with their advice.

All I can say is I hope people will learn from my mistake...ALWAYS start with the simple crap, never assume anything, and don't overthink something...all you'll do is bury yourself in the long run...

Thanks again guys/gals....you're true friends and the WIRE is a great place to hang out.

MERRY CHRISTMAS....You see, there is a Santa, and he just smiled down on me.

dawn...
