just when the legacy goes down the gl decides to have a fit.

Go down the road and it will buck severely. No codes???

I suspect fuel pressure. 88 spfi. I think I will see if someone has a good fuel pump setting around. Also need to change ignitor and cpu to see what happens.

Replace the fuel FILTER before you replace the pump - better yet run a pressure test first. If the pump is spinning it should be giving correct pressure. They pretty much either work or they don't.

 

ECU is not in the realm of things I would be checking.

 

Ignitor and coil are only suspect after you have ruled out cap/rotor/plugs/wires and you know it's an ignition issue.
