1. fuel pump and all surrounding hardware is OK
2. New Ignition Switch OK
3. Good Battery and Alternator...OK
3. Just took the UIM off and replaced all vacuum lines and cleaned grounds...OK...
4. Fuses OK
5. Fuel injection Relay....OK
6. ECU...OK (tried both spares at one time or another)
7. New fuel pressure regulator...OK
8. She is not flooding...plugs are dry during these episodes and when she does
fire up there is no smoke and she runs smoooootthhhh....OK

Does anyone have any idea what I may have missed here....any ideas are welcome.

Under the Stock air filter box & AFM is a silver shielded bracket with 2 harness connectors going under it.
The resistor & relay are mounted to it.
