Again, it runs for a second or two after I use some starting fluid, although I don't want to continue, as I know starting fluid is bad for the engine. I am hoping my friend will come out a rescue me so I don;t have to get the car towed. When this is all over, I will post the fix, as it might help somebody else out of a problem before they make one for themselves.

I don't know if your duty cycle has been messed with to correct for a less efficient electrical system, or if that would even effect the lambda system. Is that an early M104 engine?
