Troubleshooting Request! [SOLVED] Options

[rave2n]

Hello all. On my way home from work this evening, the cellie died.

I was just taking off after a light, and it started to feel like it was stalling in 1st when the gas about half down. It seems to have recovered and was going alright. Drove normal...til the next light. Did it agian, but worse.

After stalling completely while going 35, pulled over. Had trouble starting up, but would start. Idle was crazy, but tapping the gas you could get it up to 4k rpm easy. That didn't last long either. It started to drop asoon as I hit the gas after that. Now it'll have a really rough start up, then run like crap for about 10 seconds, then just dies.

I checked for any obvious leaks or anything of the sort..nothing. My limited knowledge of engines is a hinderence atm. I do know, you need air, fuel, spark. I have air, I have spark. So, my question is...do you guys think my fuel filter, pump, or injector is bad?

The spark plugs are less then a year old, the only recent thing i've done is got a oil change, and put in LED BA-15 bulbs in my rear lights =P

Any assistance would be greatly appreicated, as right now its sitting in a parking lot of a not so wonderful area. Hoping its something I can fix quickly and available at a local shop..

first thing i would do is bridge the FP and B+ pins in your diagnostics box, and verify that the pump runs.
check for pressure from the fuel filter to the rail (you can feel the gas flowing thru the line) then from the rail out the return line.
if it is working, i would check timing.

Hmm will do, thanks! I went and rented this huge fuel pressure testing kit this morning. We'll see what pans out.

Started it this morning, struggled just a little to start, but it was actually doing 50 times better then yesterday, but the problem is still there, you can hit the gas and it starts to stutter in idle, but doesn't stall completely out. I assume that would change when it warms up.

Let the fun begin, i'll post my findings.
