Thanks for that great info. I will start with disconnecting the sensors one at a time and see what that does to the codes. I will post the results.

Codes don't change after disconnecting sensors one at a time. I wasn't sure where the fuel tank pressure sensor is located.

Have to double check as it is slightly different to the 99-00. On those it is hard to get to buried forward of the charcoal filter above the fuel tank. Taking a quick look at Vida for a 98 AWD would appear to show it on top of the the fuel tank. I can try to find a picture of my 2000 R from the sub-frame replacement and it should be near there.

The picture above is looking toward the back of the car and the carbon filter is the rectangular box to the top left of the picture. Under the bottom left as viewed you can see a rusty triangular bracket. This is where the fuel pressure regulator is attached to on my car.
Picture below shows the pressure regulator tucked up under the carbon filter.

The 98 may be fitted slightly differently but I don't have a picture for that unfortunately.
