i will look in my bently manual later today after work. paid 40 bucks for it so might as well use it right?

You may want to consider just changing the fuel pump relay and DME relay, its a cheaper place to start. Both only cost me like $35 from FAP.

were is the DME relay located>?

Yes I have been dealing with this problem too. I would start by checking the codes the CEL is throwing, then go from there. I have heard of AFM causing this problem too, but in my case it seemed to be the fuel pump that was the culprit. I replaced it with a Walbro 255 unit and have not had any problems since. .

good to hear you got that worked out

thanks for the links. i may consider going with that fuel pump after eliminating other simpler possibilities that I have not tried...or should I say have not been tried on my car by someone who is more knowledgeable than I am.

Oh by the way I did that stomp test my friend told me to do and according to him, it was all clear. Something about 1 4 4 if i remember correctly.
