First see my second post down from the top. I double checked with NGK, the plugs I have are the correct heat range, so it IS running lean or having pre-ignition problems. Since I can't set the timing, it must be lean, right?

Also, this started soon after a new load of gas..what are the odds that bad gas could make it hard to start, but still have it run right?

I still have my old fuel pump, it worked fine but leaked where the wires came out of the assembly. The replacement was a junkyard special. I'll try the old one and see what happens.

If that does not work, then I'll try my old fuel pressure regulator. I replaced it under a WAG for another problem, which it did not solve. Of course the first thing is to put in the new plugs, cap, and rotor.

Thanks for all of the ideas everyone.
