Drain the fuel and fill with ethanol free fuel. There are some interesting videos on you tube where they store parts in regular fuel with ethanol, the same thing with stabil and the same with ethanol free fuel. Ethanol free did the best by far.

Replacing parts multiple times??? Probably not the parts. The connectors are the real problem with these 33 year old cars. The tiniest bit of corrosion that can't be seen or a connection that is loose but appears ok is responsible for almost every single problem I've ever had since I bought...

it's almost like putty in tape form. Pliable and sticky all the way through.

Semi gloss black. Same color as the trim piece on the back of the hood, wheel well trim and bottom of the trunk.

I've had all 3. Hydroboost all the way.
