well, now that it is running, more issues have popped up. The car will run fine for about 10 min. or so, then it will just shut off as if i turned the off. I also noticed while driving, just before it stalls the tach and other guages start bouncing all over the place. If anyone has any ideas where to start chasing this one i would love to hear them.

the voltmeter reads fine, around 12 or volts. I just installed a wideband O2 sensor and i think that may have given me a clue. Just before the car cuts out the A/F ratio will become very erratic. It went from around 14.7 up to around 19.0(way lean), then way down to 9.0(way rich) and stalled out right after that. Does this sound like a MAF sensor issue or fuel pump maybe? I also eliminated the EGR valve and haven't been able to get into the Tweecer yet to turn off the EGR. Just wonder if either of those factors could be cause of my new gremlin. Thanks again in advance.
