Ok a quick update. I now have an almost full tank. I did check the fuel press regulator hose and it is dry. I also disconnected the AMM and can get it to run better. (I guess it's in "limp" mode cause it will run but still stumbles on quick acceleration) I did all the tests that are detailed in Haynes and the AMM checks good on all the tests. !!! Next I tested the throttle switch (TPS) and it has no continuity ever so I think it's bad. It also does not have the audible "click". I'll buy a new one Monday and try it. ??? I don't know though why if this is the problem the disconnected AMM helps especially since it checks out electrically. BTW Also checked the main 25 amp fuse and connections and the coil. It's good. Same with the air intake hoses to the throttle body.

Thanks again! I love this site!!!
