I checked THE fuel pump pressure? LIKE YOU IT WAS GOOD READ. OK THE PR0BLEM IS THE LOSSING POWER & LIKE NOT GETTING NO GAS ARE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND ACTING LIKE IT WONT TO CUT OFF. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND START BACK UP IT WILL RUN FINE. WHAT IS THAT PROBLEM.
WILL THE CRANK SENSOR MAKE IT DO THAT

The crank sensor will usually cause it to shut down. Has the check engine light come on?

When you say they light up, you do mean you are checking it with a test light, correct? They are not arcing, sparking.

One last question. You mentioned the car sat for 2 years. Have you replaced the fuel or is it what was already in the vehicle?

THe coild sound fine. My concern is there is still (1/2) old fuel in the tank. That could be causing the problem. Did you drain any of the old out?
