  1. If you don’t feel any play in the hinges, then it’s probably the door adjustment. Long doors can be a pain that way. I did paint and body work for years and when I first started, my uncle who started doing bodywork when they still used lead, taught me how to adjust them. Take a short piece of 2x4 and place it 6-8 inches from the front of the door jam, between the rocker and the door, and kind of push up as close the door against the 2x4. Do it two or three times and check and see if there’s any improvement. Don’t go crazy with the pressure. Used to have to do this on ‘70’s Chevy’s, there hinges were welded to the body, no bolts to play with.

  2. Just my opinion, but the first thing I would do is replace the fuel filter. I assume it has the external, under hood filter. According to what you wrote, it hasn’t been replaced in 200,000 miles, not even when the fuel injection service was done? It may not help your problem but it won’t hurt it.
