howdy...

first of all, i'd just like to say this listserv kick
ass!!!
thanks to everyone who's been feeding me advice on my
stalling issue; its great to see a virtual community
helping one another with their probs...

... so I've checked my fuel pressure: 38 psi when the
fuel pump pressurizes, 30 psi when the engine cranks
over... although I forgot to check with vacuum hose
disconnected (is this critical?)... beginning to think
my FPR is not the issue...
... my ground contacts appear solid ..(one brown wire
is more oxidized then the rest but the clip remains
intact to the wire)...

next course of action is to check/replace my temp II
sensor... is this the two-wire plug next to the
coolant hose behind the water pump pulley?  and if so,
do I replace the wire harness too?  should I expect
some coolant leakage when I bust the nut?? :)

engine still fires up and idles like a champ...
doesn't appear excessively rich like I was thinking
earlier (I think the cold arctic air made the exhaust
seem more rich than it was)....  any chance my O2 or
MAF sensors could be the culprit?

the frustrating part is that the stalling is way
infrequent and intermittant... you just never know...

thanks again,
~jeff
