I checked the spark plugs early-on and all were wet with fuel. Hard to think that it is the O2 sensor because the ECU ignores it until running temperatures are reached. I am thinking that this starting and then dieing problem is a new problem. I changed the coolant sensor earlier and that seemed to fix the idle and flooding problems. The car ran OK the day I made the change during a check out around the neighborhood. Next day I drove down town and everything was fine. I stopped for about 30 minutes and then tried to restart and could not keep it running. Interestingly, if I continuously and vigorouslky pump the accelerator it will keep running. That sounds like inadequate fuel to me, but fuel pressure had been OK during the earlier diagnostics. Do you know anything about the turbo overpressure switch; it can turn off the fuel pump? Where is it and can it be checked?
