What is the running fuel pressure?.  Meaning in drive at say 50 MPH, or 
better yet WOT of a min or two.
By Broom test, you mean you tapped on it?
Heard a rumor once about the MAF ground tieing to rad support panel, and teh
panel waas the poor connection, might just try a jumper to battery-, and see 
if that's it's.
Could be the ecm itself, the 165 has seen lots of updates.
Grumpy
      1st Post Surgery Bicycle thing 6.4 miles, previous best 6.08
      Pedal time 45 mins continuous, previos 30. with breaks.
      Started one range higher on loading
      Walking with no aids!!!!!
