When I rebuilt my TB the entire EGR passage was plugged.

This is what it looked like after cleaning.

I think maybe Today I will pull off the TB and look at the EGR tunnel under it. It's Never been Off as far as I know.

I Answered that Too Quickly ! if I turn On the key (not start), it Does Nothing. If I "Crank it", it will start and hold 13 PSI. As soon as the key is
"Shut Off", it goes to Zero within 1-2 seconds. ** NO Pressure only turning the key to "On" Position.** Only pressure if it's cranked and running.



A dollar says fuel pump relay.

If the pump only comes on with oil pressure, then the ECM isn't able to run it when you turn the key to on. If it stalls at a stop, you may have a bad oil sender too, or low pressure!!

The Pump DOES "come on" with key turned on, just No Pressure the first time. ( only 6 psi the 2nd time). then won't hold it.
I have 2 OIL Gauges, 1 "original" and 1 "mechanical". the original will say 60-80 psi, mechanical says 40 ! when the car "idles down" in gear the mechanical stays at 30, the Original jumps all over the place, but never to "0".

I suspect the short piece of hose in the tank has either rotted and/or become partly detached.

I did order a TB rebuild kit, Waiting. but will pull the tank as a Last resort (Of course it's FULL !) LOL

gOT AND INSTALLED THE NEW THROTTLE body "rebuild kit w/ regulator", absolutely No Change. Still, turn on key, the pump whirs, but no Pressure. do it 5-6 times, no pressure. crank it and it will start and run and hold 12 PSI "while running". turn off the key and Immediately goes to 0, zip, nothing. turn on the key, pump whirs, No Pressure. Seems it will hold 12-13 psi WHILE IT'S RUNNING, but won't do Any pressure if Not Running ! boy I hate to drop the full tank if that's not it ! LOL
