[Shotimes] lost MPG due to fuel pump?

[Ron Porter]

I don't think so. My '95 is rather unresponsive when it's cold (like within
the first mile in sub-freezing  weather) and likes to stall. Flooring it
which starting brings it to life. There is a procedure in the PCM that works
during cranking with full throttle, but it definitely does NOT shut off the
injectors.

Flooring the vehicle on start-up will shut off the injectors.
