This car has been sitting up for awhile, it will start and run as long as its cold but as soon as it warms up it starts jerking and kills. I scanned it for codes and it gave me the vacuum regulator, vent solenoid/purge solenoid, and all four O2 sensors (cat has been removed). I have replaced the vacuum regulator and the fuel filter. I'm thinking it may be the fuel pump or something electrical but I'm not completely sure.....Never had one to do this....

if the solenoid purge leaks at idle it's not supposed to so check for that then check fuel pressure with a gauge you could always have junk in the tank block ing fuel pump as well. auto parts rent gauge
