Yeh tried that in the dark Mitch.Now its starts and drives fine till you get it anywhere past half throttle its starts coughing and carrying on.Could that be a TPS issue? I put in new coil in and now a new cap and rotor as well.

No, the pressure regulator is on the front end of the fuel rail (OBD1)

Mine is a 98 update OBD2 which would mean its part of the module assembly?

Might be time for a pump and filters. Filter/regs are available locally. Pump kits for a 98 may need to come from the States. I managed to get a pump by itself locally but the strainers are hard to get here for the 98 models. You can get kits but because of those two strainers on the 98 the price is huge. I bought a Goss pump for a 96 and it cost me $105 the same in a 98 was over $200. Only difference was the strainers.

Well to update in case someone else is having similar issues pump ass arrived and all is good again.So it seems I was lucky enough to have a multiple failure.Now it starts first turn every time and can rev all the way to redline again.
