So what are the odds the fuel pump takes a powder after a 4 month rest? I had dire predictions for my fuel pump after my box sat for nearly 2 years without running, thankfully wrong. There has to be a way to provide 12V directly to the fuel pump to make sure it is working, AFTER the cave man test shows spark. This goes against the initial post where gas was evident by smelling it, but at this point it's a game of elimination.

And the SAI doesn't do squat, except set a CEL, and cost a boatload of cash.

Anything's better than having to put it back on jackstands and pull the tranny.

More worrisome than getting back together with my wife!
