Gentlemen,

Thank you for all the advice.

This week, I gave up and wanted to sell the car, so put the engine back in and plumbed all the electrical, coolant and fuel lines. Same issue, starts and dies.

Then I started getting all the left over parts of the car together to pass it on to a new owner and I noticed that had another banjo bolt with spring and ball inside it, that looks like the one that is on the IP.

I decided to swap it for the one on the IP and did.

Then the sucker started and idled as if nothing has happened!!!

I pulled the engine out 3 years ago, refreshed it, and put all new perishable items and gaskets for no reason... All along it was this banjo bolt!!!

Pics attached.

Thank you for all the advice to date. One good thing is, I can now remove an engine, rebuilt it and put it back in the car! This experience is priceless.

But, there is a new issue. The transmission does not pull... The max i can do is 30MPH @ a lot of RPM... I will start a new thread for it.
