Ok for those following this thread here's what happened,...The fuel pressure test lead to pulling the tank screen to make sure it was'nt plugged up....I could'nt help notice there was'nt a gush of fuel as soon as I removed the feed hose from the tank....I pulled the screen and it was clean and still no fuel gush hmmmm. I'd just put 20 bucks of premium in it an hour before this happened, Altho I do have intermittent gauge outages, (thats all gauges probably due to the know bad connects at the back of the cluster) my gauge is otherwise trustable.... I put it all back together and went and got another 4 gallons of premium in a can. put it in the tank and viola! it runs!...the gauge now reads a little over half tank...so I surmise that somehow the less than half tank that was in the car must've all been in the pass. side of the tank where there is no feed line....sounds stupid right? well it was a lot of work and screwing around for nothing but at least it's running and hopefully this is all it needed....the only things that may have somehow caused this are sitting for about 2 months, having the car jacked up both from the front and then the rear at fairly high angles...something to consider if your car won't start for seemingly no reason....thanks for interest and help...cliff
