I went over to where the brick rests, and I checked the Radio Suppression Relay. I put in the new one and it made no difference. Car catches and ‘runs’ with a good dose of starting fluid, then it dies. Just like before.

I am going to go out when I am through posting here and see if the plugs are 'wet'. I've been assuming that the car is starving for fuel and I had better verify this. I will be very surprised to see wet plugs.

I checked the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator to make sure it was clear, and not blocked. Seems fine.

I had the vacuum line to the flame trap holder plug up and go hard a few months ago and I thought I should check this.

Also, no one suggested this as a way to test the FPR itself, but I disconnected it from the fuel rail side and put the hose in a small bottle and turned the car over. No gas. Nothing. I am figuring that this conclusively points to the fuel pump, or power to the pump, and that if the pump worked I would have seen a lot of gasoline. Is a logical conclusion? This doesn't test the FPR, I realize, but I think it points to the pump.

I pulled the plate off the truck floor and took a couple of light whacks at the fuel delivery housing. Maybe the pump was stuck and I could get it going. No such luck.

I had the car towed ($150) and now it's in my garage.

Does anyone have Step by Step instructions for the fuel pump replacement? I have a ScanTech pump with general instructions and a new sock. The pump is made in Korea. I hope it is a decent pump and I am not wasting my time. I have changed a few fuel pumps but never pulled one from the fuel tank. There is nothing in the FAQ about changing this pump. Anybody done this?
