The fuel tank is pretty easy to remove if it's empty and you jack the
car up high enough.

Well i replaced the ECM yesterday ($30). everything seemed ok. this
morning drove the car about 15 miles. let it sit for about 15
minutes. restarted and went to get a haircut(mile or so). 20 minutes
or so later...no fuel pressure at the schrader valve in the key on
position and it wont start. I looked at the testing procedure in the
chilton but it wont do me any good since it runs fine 90% of the time.
it only seems to quit when i am away from my garage.
