Airtex fuel pump?
If the problem started with fuel pump replacement.

Check that fuel pressure real good/Specs are 55/61
You should see 60 with load on engine running down the raod and 60 on cold cranking.
If not work on that fuel pressure.

If so go over secandary ign system.
What is engine vacuum reding at idle and at 2K rpm?

Thanks for posting back how it went.
I hope the gave you some discount for giving you the wrong part.
If it is running good and starting good I would not worry about the TSB on change over.
Good Luck
