You know, I have no idea,lol. It's Sunday, and there's no agent working today. I have full coverage, but I don't believe I have towing.

If you don't, see if you can add it and when it kicks in

Injectors, wires, coils, plugs, and a gasket set could be done for $700-$750, if you needed it all. But I'd want to scan it and verify fuel delivery first. What were you going to spend $2k on, I'm wondering...

Well, I got a price for the injectors and gaskets deliverd for $750 from FIC(not sure if they included plugs,wires, or coils, but I don't think they were). If I have to get it towed, at least $300. I'll need spark plugs, maybe wires $100-$200, I'm guessing cause I haven't looked. And if I need MAP, Cam sensor, guessing another $200. I hoping it'll be under $1000, but it could mushroom up to 2K, if there's anything else wrong, etc. Fuel regulator or pump, valves, vacuum pump, some other sensor I might not know about.

Yea, I'll look into it. Probably a good idea w/ this car.

This sounds exactly what I experienced within a year of buying my '91 with 15,750 miles on it. Drove it 6-7 miles, parked for an hour, and driving home, I swear the thing was going to quit..sounded a lot like your symptoms, stumbling, couldn't find a gear it was happy in. The scariest deal was the dual-mass flywheel trying to compensate for the problem. I was sure I had spun a bearing or something major. I was literally sick....

I had it transported to Marc Haibeck, who replaced the injectors, and while the plenum was off, he found a non-functioning secondary accelerator pump and did a thorough review of the entire car.

Although it cost some cash, the car is so much better than it was..hopefully your solution won't set you back too far. As other posters have offered, if you end up taking the plenum off, do the work..

I think gm still has the red wires without writing for not that much

FYI, twice I have trailered my car home to work on.
1) Blown high pressure power steering hose
2) Fried transmission.
Both times I rented a U-Haul truck and trailer.
Not that expensive.
Good Luck!

AAA Platinum. The Best 200.00 I spend every year. They will tow your vehicle once up to 500 miles, three times up to 200 miles and the remainder tows 100 miles. I broke a half shaft 56 miles away from home called AAA nice flatbed showed up 30 minutes later. Driver asked what dealership would you like your car dropped off, I told him my driveway would be sufficient.
