[Shotimes] Aggrevating Engine Problem, Conclusion

Interesting. I was going to say that you need a new fuel pump and that
I've never heard of the regulator needing replacement. :)

 I would replace your fuel filter since its about $8 and 10 minutes
worth of time. Ahhhh..something else to add to my list of things I've
replaced..thanks



Are you getting any CE lights when the car stalls?

Well, all, I brought my SHO in to get diagnosed and fixed.  I'm now
$1400 poorer.  Here's what happened:
    Replaced IAC motor
    New Intake Gaskets
    New Valve Cover Gaskets
    New Oil Well Seals
    New Fuel Pressure Regulator
    New Spark Plug Wires (ouch)
    Fixed some wires (supposedly going to IAT sensor)

Running well now, for the most part.  Idles like a champ until I drive
it for a while.  Still stalling when warmed up, hopefully computer will
"relearn" and take care of this.  Stumbles every now and then (mostly
highway today) when given a little bit of gas, but opens up when
go-pedal mashed.  Again, hopefully computer-related, since shop
disconnected battery.

They said I needed a new fuel pump (BS) and found that with the new
regulator I have around 40 psi of pressure in the fuel lines.  Is that
alright?  Also, should I replace my fuel filter to be safe?  It's less
than a year old, so I opted not to change it with the fuel pump.  And
lastly, since I needed new wires, should I check my plugs for any
fouling?

Thanks a bunch, guys!  I'd be going insane and buying a Saturn if it
weren't for all of you.
