to those who have responded: i tested the air flow plate that is illustrated in the great video. mine moves just as well as the one in the clip. i had my wife crank the car over while i moved the plate down and up. (i haven't figured out how to do it with out my wife yet!) anyway, no go. i am pretty sure its a weak pump. the guy i bought it from said that toward the end of the time he owned it, the car got weaker and then one day just died as he was driving. it sat in his driveway until i found and bought it. i only paid a couple hundred for it, so if i can spend another couple hundred and have it run, it was worth it. i don't want to have to spend more than maybe two or three hundred total, though.

any advice is wanted. a fellow bricker offered a pump to me, and i will likely buy it if i can get some confirming votes that the pump is the culprit. (the internal tank pump is fairly new)
