David,
Because I like humor (and I don't mind at all working on my car) I did the swap test. Switched the two safety valves, re-plumbed my (new silicone) vacuum hoses, and gave it a go. No luck. Same as before. I then put a dash of carb cleaner in the intake, and got it to run just like the night before.
Now, this is purely out of curiosity, but can you help me understand the operation of the safety valves? I'd like to know how the system works. (Feel free to email me if you'd like). My understanding is that the safety valve help operate the electronic throttle, and if the TCS system senses something is off (or that the moon is full, for some cars), it trips the safety valve and sends the car into LHM, causing the heavy pedal. Am I on the right track?
I suppose I should knock on wood, but in the 5 years I've had this car, I've had LHM in two cases, and each time turning the car off then restarting it solved whatever problem it was having. I suspect that my old vacuum lines might have had something to do with it, so I replaced all of them.
I have to admit that having TCS is one thing I could do without. If it was a decent traction control system, it might not be so bad. The way I see it though, it provides this huge potential for headaches, with very little benefit. (It's actually a liability in the snow). That being said, I've never had a problem with it. I take very good care of my car, and I pay attention to it, but so far, the TCS system has been relatively maintenance free.
As always, thanks for the input. It's nice to rule out all the other options before clicking the "purchase now" button at eeuroparts for a fuel pump. Like you said though, my instinct was fuel. You might have agreed with me if you were listening to the car turn over... no hint of anything remotely flammable in the cylinders.
I really appreciate this board. It makes owning a 9000 a bit easier. Thanks again!
~Peter
