Hopefully I can get the IP from strelnik and get her started.

If this ends up being a DIY i'll pm you my number becasue the bleeding part might get to me a little bit. I really appreciate your offers, and once I get her home I can see what I need to get. Hoping it's just the IP.

After six months of waiting for repairs, then to have the shop suddenly come up with "we had it running, then the pump went" I'd be suspicious of their experience/ability. They had their chance five+ months ago. I'd pull the car out of that shop and start doing the troubleshooting work yourself BEFORE replacing the injection pump (the work previously mentioned by other members). As mentioned, it COULD be something ridiculously simple and a HECK of alot less expensive than what this shop may get you into!
