Regardless of new or not with the fuel system components, check your fuel pressure.

Also i had the car on the scanner every time i was driving the car today and got so confusing readings...
Morning to work the highest i saw was 9*
@ Lunch the highest was 7*
and on the way home i only saw 5* all the way home till my very last WOT which hit 12* but didnt drop off fast like all the other time (i have seen this once before with stock pullie when i hit 18* and it took 8-10 seconds for it to come back down :? )

Has anyone ever tried welding exhaust manifolds, since I believe that'* what you're referring to when you mention "EM". I would imagine you'd have to grind a V grove in the crack and then Tig Weld it at maybe 100amps or so with probably a 1/8" Tungsten Rod.
Hmmm

What type of rod would you use for the manifolds Peter? I believe the manifold is cast, isn't it? I tried Mig once but never really got into it. I have a couple Tig and Stick welders, but never really done stick that much. I bought a plasma Cutter last year but only used it once.
Thanks for that info Peter.

mig doesnt use a rod, it uses a wire and im sure steel welding wire would work just fine because i beleace the EM'* are cast steel.
and on a side note, I love plasma cutters, i cut an entire camaro into peices with one once how much did it cost you?
