sfsegui, why not just position the radiator so it has the same gap top-to-bottom from the fan. I recall seeing a picture where the shroud ring appeared to be missing. Best to get a replacement if that's the case.

If you lower the right rear window, when you turn the ignition key you should hear the fuel pump running before turning the key to the start position. If not, you should check the fuel pump relay.
