I was just looking at fuel hoses as well. If I have a leak, then I can eat a fuel hose. No more than 10 bucks. Fuel pumps are pricey but not what they were going to charge me at the stealership. Found for $130 a piece online. Not bad. Just have to suffer for a couple weeks. Where is Santa when you need him

Finally have these fuel pumps installed and it turns over now. Glad I got it running. Now it hesitates when it idles. It actually stopped on me once when I drove it home from the shop but it started up again. Lukewarm news. I suspect I need spark plugs. I might as well get distributor cap and rotor while I am at it. Still in progress on this.

Spark plugs were the culprit like I thought back when. Glad I have this issue closed.

You guys should check your IAC(Idle Air Control) valve. Its most likely the cause based on my expiriance
