No i havent, the bolts look kinda rusty and i am affraid to touch them.  It 
did have a manafold gasket leak that has gotten quite a bit louder since it 
started running like shit.

Today i tinkered with it adn got it to stay running only if the gas pedal is 
always depressed, but it litarally is running on 1 cylinder!???

So far the car has new fuel pump, pressure regulator, fuel distributor, all 
injectors have been taken apart and cleaned, i also have 4 new ones to put 
in wtih new seals and seats.  The only part of the fuel system that has not 
been replaced is the accumulator, but i doubt it is that?

New sparkplugs, wires, cap, and rotor.  I cant find any fuel leaks anywhere, 
the system has lots of pressure.  I replaced the whole top of the airbox 
with a working one so i don't think there is any intake leaks.  In my mind 
the exaust seems to be the last possible thing that could be preventing this 
car from running.

where can i get one and how much do they cost?  sounds like a handy tool.

It was running perfict one day, i shut it off, the next time i started it up 
it was running like shit, but still had power.  Next time i started it, it 
didn't make it up the hill back to my school, next time i started it, it ran 
really bad and eventually stalled and never ran again untill thisafternoon 
when i got it to run on like 1 cyl.

I really hope i can get this damn thing running or sombody is gonna get a 
free car, most likely the god damn junk yard!!!
