Yeah Steve, thats exactly what he's doing. I want to keep the car as stock as possible for now. I understand your point of not investing money into the old set, but had i bought that combo, i wouldnt have gotten it installed anytime soon and i still would be without a vehicle, due to the leaking injector. Even if these injectors fail in two months, at least i will have the money then to do what i want. Im pinching pennies and need the car now with no time work on it.

Hahahahahaha. Trust me, NOT the case. Lol. But i really need the car up and running, and if fixing that o-ring is done correct right by a mechanic, thats the route i had to take. And Steve, my one year anniversary is coming up n a year for my marriage. My money been gone. right now im PRAYING that this fixing majority of the issues. Gonna see if he can weld up my exhaust while its there. :-) and i got that gauge today. Let u kno when i get to testing again. Thanks again for everything

You make a great point there my good sir. My hurry to fix the o-ring(or whatever the problem may be) told me to jus have the guy look at it. He's also going to test the flow of all the injectors for me. My luck lately have sucked, and im kinda pressed for time. I pick the car up tomorrow. Just got back from dropping it off. I've been driving it a lot due to me and the wife's sched. I fig'd one night and a little money was worth more than me attempting to fix myself. He also might see something i didnt. Good looking out Steve. Keep u posted on the progress. 8 pages

Have no time to do the work myself.  Throwing the car in the shop tonight, and I'm getting it back out tomorrow.  Let you know how things go with it.

Mines too.  I seen the piece the guys referred me too before, but I thought the ECC would use a diff piece.  Think I'll purchase anyway.  If it doesnt work I just send it back

Hey Ed, i think im going to first check and see what fuel pump is actually in there. Hopefully, i just need a pump and a hotwire kit. That would make me happy. First things first, i have to check the simple stuff. Should the car be running when i check the egr?

Thanks steve. And Ed, to be honest, i couldnt tell you what fuel pump was in the car right now. I do recall my mechanic(whatever its worth) saying that it was a walbro, but i thought to myself who would install an aftermarket pump with no hotwire kit? So im going to say i dont know what pump is on there to he safe. I guess thats something i can also check this weekend.

I can do that. And, the vacuum is holding steady at 18 after car is warmed up and FP raised to 48 line off.
