Problem solved! I replaced all the vacuum hoses and fittings (some quite brittle). Problem persisted. I vacuum tested the MAP sensor -ok. Heat tested the Intake Air Temperature sensor - ok. I went back to the fuel system again (had already replaced the filter and checked pressure at the rail. Began with the pump - couldn’t hear it. I jumpered and bypassed the pump relay. Could hear the pump functioning! Replaced the old intermittent relay with one from inventory - the car is running like a champ. Thank you all for sharing your experience and expertise in helping me get back on the road!

Those pesky fuel pump relays will get you. Always test the relay before you start tearing things apart and replacing things. I learned that the hard way.

Eh, totally worth it to replace all of the brittle vacuum lines, no harm done there. Otherwise he just tested things, smart moves all.

Cammer, glad you solved it! I had a fuel pump relay die on me this morning, too ...
