That didnt work either. The car is in very good shape with 87k miles. My father in law took off the road of the problem. Ran it every month in his garage for a couple years with the same issue. it would run 10 to 15 then flood and die. Any ideas ? thanks

Before you start pissing away even more money, lets ask a few more questions.
1- while it's running, any hesitation, sputtering etc? When cold? When hot?
2- does your abs occasionally blink or light up?
3- do you know how to check your duty cycle? If so did you check?
4- when driving, do you have (seemingly) full power?
5- does your car have an economy gauge? Do you have a mity vac?
You already are experiencing how expensive it gets to just start throwing parts at it. Lets try and at least narrow it down a bit.
