Edm,
I'm having a problem with my fuel system (i think).
When I start my car it runs great and I can redline it with no fuel cut, It drives great for about 10min. After that I restart my car and I get no fuel, the car idles fine at 800rpm, but if I open the throttle at all the car stalls out, and if I WOT the engine stumbles like crazy, and sounds like crap. It feels like the car has 20hp. I had an extra fuel regulator lying around and I put it in and there is no difference. I also know it's not the injectors.
so I think it's the pump or resitor pack.

What could it be?
Thanks
 
I have a similar problem with my 92. I get a brief C.E.L. when it occurs. It's a code 41. Tried everything. Getting ready to swap computers on it. I'd be interested to know if u got code 41's as well. Also did you and how did u resolve the problem
 
I have the exact same problem with my car. I would love to try to fix it the way you did. Could provide some pictures or mor detailed information so I can locate the wires and know what to look for. Thanks.

My MAS was wired wrong, the intake temp sensor had the wrong wire, and now the car runs great.

Where's this intake temp sensor and how was it improperly wired?
