i dont know just throwing ideas out there wish you all the luck..p.s if it were me id replace all the fuel lines. im just a jackass like that for two reasons 1.)process of elimination 2.) well then at least i would have new fuel lines. cause who knows what the previous owner shoved in the tank

you can unhook your fuel line from the intake manifold and turn the key to the on position to see if it spray good amount of fuel.

i just did a search on here before i was gonna try to mess with the timing and someone wrote that if you move it your car may backfire...i dunno if i should just get the timing belt done now...im getting nervous....im also starting to believe that this problem may have something to do with a fautly sensor? what sensors have to do with my problem, because the only ones i can think of are iacv (which theres a brand new one in) or o2 sensor?
