Re: 5K Stumbles on Start

My 865ktqw exhibits pretty much the same symptoms, it never quite dies but
it is getting worse.  Having checked all electric's and vacuum leaks I'm
also leaning towards low fuel pressure.  I'm presently seeking a fuel
pressure gauge to confirm my suspicions.  I shall report on my findings.
