once running, she's pretty great. just maybe a little bit of a rougher idle than i'd expect. last run i've driven it up n down the driveway a few time and even around the block. gets warm, defrost works, radiator hoses got warm, etc. no fuel leaks i can tell either.

at this point, the only guess i have, after some research, is that the pump is worn out. basically at the starting RPM, it can't make enough PSI to pop the new injectors. bump starting kicks it over less revolutions, but much faster, and as soon as one cylinder fires it's spinning fast enough to create the PSI.

i'm guna call a few shops today n ask around for thoughts. but now i'm torn between finding another junkyard pump or just getting a re-man.
