Woo-hoo!, finally some progress...
I ended up taking the muffler(s) off, thinking they might be rusted up or packed with mouse nests after sitting for 4 years.
It sarted up immediately and actually ran and stayed running this time!!
After it ran for about 5 minutes (not 5 seconds this time), then the rpms started to jump from 500 to 3000 and at the same frequency (ie: it was doing it very consistantly).
I tried wiggling and then removing most (not all) of the vaccum lines (all new), and it didn't run any smoother.
This seems to me to be a vacuum issue (due to the regularity of the jumping), but could it be fuel related? I do have new fuel lines, new injectors new fuel lines, resealed tank and new fuel filter. I have not been able to get my hands on a fuel pressure tester yet.
Oh yeah, I think I still have the occasional no start problem too. That happened to me once this afternoon. When I tapped the battery terminals and reached under the passenger side seat, it would turn over fine. Someone mentioned a relay under the seat. What does this do? Can I get to it without removing the seat?
Any new ideas, given this update? It looks like I'm chasing 2 different problems here.
Thanks for the help guys!
