I remember your post from last week....I just noticed you didn't mention the fuel pump relay. I had VERY simmilar issues (plus occasional turn over w/no start) and thought my fuel filter and maybe pump were toast. First I checked the fuel pump relay and found that water had gotten in durring a major rain storm and had rusted and corroded the connections. I didn't even have to replace it, just cleaned it off with some electrical cleaner and a copper brush. I plugged it in and started her up and all my issues were gone from there on out. Just thought it would be worth mentioning.

Good luck man!
