It's definitely getting better with driving, except for the age old warm start idle hunting issue.
But then at an intersection last night, my gd clutch pedal rod actually bent . . .That sucks because it's not an off the shelf part, it has to be modified from a truck MC unit.

Got the new clutch pedal rod fabbed. Putting it place was a PITA, but I think it might actually be impossible to get the snap ring back on on the MC side.
kdracer, do you have some snap ring pliers with looonng teeth?

It's been running better, nearly fine. Took it all the way to Temecula today and back through Ortega. Brought it home, washed it. Took it for a tank up. Still fine. Cleaned it a little more, then went to move it and the issue is back 100% as bad as it ever was. I can only think of the following things:
1- I managed to tank up with another shitty tank of gas. This is at a busy chevron so I find it unlikely. It also ran fine for 10 minutes or so after tanking up about 2/3rds.
2- Some water from washing settled in on something and it's shorting something in the electric system. This is possible I suppose, but it would mean the water settled after going to tank up while it was still driving fine.
3- The fuel pump has just been intermittent and now it's going out hard.

Fuel pump or the fuel pump wiring?

Could be the wiring . . . How would I really isolate that?

I'm leaning towards some wiring thing related to moisture. I took it out just a touch tonight (24 hours later) and it was way better, until I turned at the end of my culdasac and it went nuts. Something in the turn appeared to make it go weird, yet coming from ls1z28's house it was fine. The only things different were washing the car and tanking up.

Rewire it with thicker wire and see what happens. It will help even if you have to replace the fuel pump.

Dude, I have HP tuners, I can datalog it as long as the OBD2 port is within reach of my laptop and the cable. I live in Wildomar, if you head over to Temecula again soon let me know and I can graph that mofo and wee can see whats up. Just one thing, I need to know what engine/mods you are running in that thing so I can make sure I have the appropriate config file.
I'll be able to see anything that the ECU will monitor, hopefully we can narrow it down.
Oh, one more thing, if you can find an ethanol station near you, that would be an even better alternative to the race fuel. The Ethanol has very high detergent properties, and its muuuuch cheaper than race gas, if you are looking to clean the fuel system a bit, dump like 5 gallons in a 20 gallon take and it shouldn't effect performance. you will be running like a E20 blend depending on what is at the pumps
