tested temp sensor (4 prong on mine),
checked for vacuum leaks, replaced all small rubber connectors (not iac hoses)

Plan to check fuel pressure (need fittings), check valves at pumps,
check fuel accumulator this way:

Pinch off the 'return' from the accumulator and disconnect.
No fuel should should leak from the accumulator when you turn the key on, put a pan under just in case it's bad.


What I can't figure out on mine:

Have someone start the engine (cold only, warm starts fine).
Airflow plate drops and immediately starts back up, engine dies.
If I hold airflow plate in position (do not let it rise), does not die.
Tryning to figure out that one.
Did you observe the airflow plate in yours at cold start?
Not a good idea to pinch rubber hoses with a hose clamp .Pinching hoses damage them inside as they are one of the oldest pats in your fuel system.
