i do not have a spare pressure sensor to test with unfortunately, i see a new one listed for $1500! I have spent well over $1000 on this thing since Jan alone - ugh!

So from my tests i gather i need a thermo timer, i looked i cannot find one online, can anyone help me with that part?

I will keep looking fr the pressure sensor.

I believe root cause of my 'unreliability' (i have driven 3 miles in 4 years!) is a culmination of old worn out injectors, fuel filter completely clogged, possibly leading to inj failure 1 or more in stuck open mode filling the crank case with gas; leaking pipe to pressure sensor and a faulty thermo timer. In case folks have missed it, this car has never started reliably even to use to go get coffee on Sunday mornings.

I believe i m pretty close now, as i have replaced coil, contact set, cap, rotor, wiring harness, leads, distributor, injectors, all gas lines and cleaned the tank out. Its difficult to diagnose when you have a multitude of issues all at the same time affecting starting & performance. I plan to replace gas tank with new once i can get it going.

If anyone can point me to or have parts to help me i would really appreciate; in the case where its something you want to keep (like press sensor) i understand but if someone could help me by lending me one to try, that would be wonderful,

Thanks as always to your very valuable info!

Rob
