Well I drove it to work yesterday. 70 miles round trip with no issues other than it's still down on power.

No CEL, and low rpm/part throttle response is great. Anything over 1/2 throttle doesn't produce much in the way of power. It does accelerate, just not very fast.

I'm going to take Andrews recommendation and do a fuel pressure test on the road, and I will do some data logging to see what's happening.

Besides that, it runs great, idles great, and will put you back in the seat in 1st gear.

I'm getting ready to be sent home from work for a couple of weeks, my wife already has been sent home with pay. Daughter is out of school because they're all closed. I'll have some time to get it sorted out.

BTW, I really like the ride with the new shocks and tires. The car doesn't pull me around anymore when I hit ruts or un-even pavement.
