1. If any check engine light, you must pull codes for guidance.

2. Always review tuneup hardware status when symptomatic. That includes plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor. Failure to do this can result in the chasing of your tail.

3. Verify fuel pressure. For a 98, you should have 49 psi, plus or minus 5 psi. Must be verified with a gauge; no shortcuts. You can rent a fuel pressure gauge from many parts stores; call around.
