. Fuel pump. Dirty injectors. Have you pressure washed your engine perhaps. That'll do it. Just some ideas. look on the brightside. Once you get this fixed, you don't have to worry about all the other things you just changed.

My guess is fuel pump. I bet once you fix your SHO youll be like "My car is badass". The SHO is a love it hate it realationship.

Can't stress this enough: First, check your codes!!! Then, once you've retrieved the codes, reset your computer!!!

Put a fuel pressure gauge on the schrader valve of the fuel rail. It should be:

Key on / engine off - 30-45 psi
Key on / engine running - 28-33 psi

You could have a worn out fuel pump.. they are inexpensive (around $90 for one from Autozone) and are a little time consuming to install but not difficult. Be sure to get replacement hairpin clips if your pump doesn't have them.

You really have to pull the codes. If not ready to do it yourself, find a good mechanic. Don't get into a science project w/o knowing what the engine is capable of telling you itself.

Ya I know. I love it when it runs right. But I'm sick of working on this thing Damnit. I'll post what happens after I change it 2day.

That's a lot of work so far. But on the bright side there are a few really great SHO mechanics in Texas!

without sounding like a wise guy...might i suggest maybe buying a new car ?

It doesn't sound like a bad pump, especially if he has to put the pedal to the floor to start it. It sounds like it may be flooding.
