OK, folks, I'm getting close to that point where I call the tow truck and have them pick up the car. That's only happened one other time and the shame lasts for weeks, so help me if you can.

1989 760 turbo wagon, suddenly developed rough running, noticable power loss, and stalling at stoplights. All in the course of one 30 mile trip. Next day car wouldn't run and hasn't since. Spark has been verified by timing light on #1 cylinder giving flashes appropriate on the crank pulley during cranking. New plugs, wires, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump relay, and fuel pump have been installed. When I replaced the fuel pump, I did not get a gusher from the inlet line to the fuel pump. It did flow, but I was expecting a gusher. I thought that might have been due to the gas cap being on and forming a hydraulic lock on the tank, nut maybe this is a sympton I'm misdiagnosing.

After cranking several times with new fuel pump, I cracked the line to the fpr and didn't get spayed. I thought this was supposed to pressurize when cranking and not bleed down right away. Is this anther clue I'm missing? I have been unable to change the fuel filter because the filter turns with my wrenches on it. I was hoping to change the fuel filter at a DIY session on Saturday, but now I may not be able to get it there.

ANY thoughts and commments would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
