Thanks for the advice. I have checked all sorts of connections and the car is running fine. I have had two fuel pumps on this car in the last 8 years so I might try the fuel pump relocation. I still need to have the coil checked.

I would check the fuel pump considering the history of fuel pump failures I went through with the pump located in the engine compartment. Fuel pumps like to operate with gravity feed from the fuel tank rather than sucking it up all the way up to the back of the car.

Hope it helps,
