[SDZR-1]

so i still dont have parts yet...but always feel the need to give my car a little attention, so decided to wash it. I attemp to start it up and it misfires and does the whole pop bang cough thing since it is running so rough and dies. I also noticed a puff of smoke coming from around the fuel pressure regulator...could have been under the plenum and just exited near the regulator....i dont know. Anyway, I definately smelled fuel just after. Just figured I would share that, thinking it might spark something that could determine my problem.

As far as the starter, it does need to be changed...I can get it to start but sometimes it takes up to about 30 attempts to get the starter to go. So anyway, I should have plugs tomorrow and will install them, then report back. My starter wont be here til friday anyway, and injectors not til monday....so maybe we can pinpoint this in the meantime. Thank you very much for the helpful advice so far.
