Well still no progress. The fuel pump didn't help at all. I spent a couple hours at bill's today trying to help figure things out. He's spent about 2 days trying things with no luck as of yet. THis is a list of everything that has been tryed to solve the problem.

* intake and throttle body gasket.
* Maff sensor
* Iac valve
* spark plugs, new rotor wires and dist cap, air filter.
* TPS
* ECU
* all boost hoses and vacume lines checked and re checked.
* fuel injector rail, fuel injectors and injector o rings.
* Fuel pump today, new filter 9 months ago.

Nothing seems to solve the problem. Now what seems very odd is that the car would sit and idle all day as long a one of the injectors is unplugged. As soon as u plug in all five injectors it runs smooth for 10 seconds or so then seems to choke itself out. when it starts to idle rough and is about to die unpluggingg any one injector will restore it to idiling. It revs fine off 4 cylinders as well. To me that just doesn't make any sence.... And on top of it all while the car is running off 4 cylinders disconecting the intake hose (boost hose) fromthe manifold makes the car idle much better. :cry: Is the car maybe getting to much or to little air?? Any ideas would be muchly appreciated, i think the car may be haunted.
with the key in position 2 both wires going into the injectors show to be live with a test light. However when the car is running only the wire to the left (standing in front of the car) tests live. I am not sure if this is normal, maybe i have a wiring issue. srry for the long post just very confused!

thanks

Well im just thinking outloud but maybe it's my coolant temp sensor. I replaced it about 2 months ago but it was replaced with a sensor out of my parts car which is a 94 as well. Maybe that sensor is dead now to. The car does seem to be able to maintain an idle longer before stalling before the engine gets up to temp.... But my temp guage isn't doing anything funky, but it didn't last time either. I duno just a thought.
