But seems you're also getting different cold vs hot behavior Along w/checking fuel pressures (control pres, warm control pres, residual), ck fuel pump output volume (all should be in Haynes). When fuel pumps start to fail, they go pretty quickly - within hours IME (they've either been running weakish for a while - unnoticed - or have been subject to recent contamination of some sort). You'll get either severe bucking or a no-start Last quick thought is to ck that your Throttle Position Switch (TPS) is okay (continuity/no continuity) and adjusted to proper physical position
