Greetings, Well I am ready for that million dollars! Worked on the suggestions but all I got was dirty. I checked the AMM -if it is that vacuum dispensing thing between the air filter and the front headlight -all the hoses were connected and seemed to be functioning and un -holy. I searched for that...

Chris, I apologize for not giving you a shout-out and misspelling your name. Those are great tips and I will follow up on it as soon as I can - family week-end obligations and a really nasty wet weather - the kind never mentioned by the Tourist Authority - make it a next week kinda deal... I certain...

Greetings and thanks to all - spook and JimH - Thanks for the speedy replies - they are certainly appreciated and a new tack to follow...

Well since I am all in on the knowledge department, I guess asking one more dumb and q...

Well I have tried almost everything everyone suggested with the exception of a code reader - there just does not seem to be one lying around anywhere on our island - and still she does not roll (or start). I tried soldering the fuel pump relay but no dice - maybe my technique was off - so I am going...

Just got around to checking my post and find it full of good advice from several people - I just want to say thanks to everyone for reading my post and helping out.... I am going to try the suggestions - great stuff - this week-end and hopefully the vehicle will get it on once again...I will be back...
