Over the weekend I rigged up a test pipe in order to perform the lift pump volume and pressure tests and the pump is working well above specifications. At this point I am confident there is no supply side fuel problem and am very happy that I ran the tests instead of ordering a lift pump and relief valve that I didn't need.
I have the splined delivery valve socket on order and when that gets here I'll check, clean, and replace the seals on those.
Also on the agenda is seeing if I can make the injector adapter from my compression tester fit by pulling the valve cover and removing the injector and the well around it.
In the meantime my girlfriend has been nice enough to let me borrow her BMW M Roadster. Not a very practical car but a blast to drive. My daughter has striclty prohibited me from pressing the 'fun button' a.k.a. the button that disables the automatic skid control.

When the engine is running bad - ensure that you have good flow of exhaust from the tail pipe - the soot trap/oxidiser maybe clogged.
