    39mt or 42mt I think is what you want. I believe the 39 is the gear reduction. I also think it takes a 5/8 12 point socket, I could be wrong. But I do know the are a bear to get at and they will be TIGHT and hard to break loose. You are gonna need extensions and swivel's. 1/2 inch drive and 3/8.

    Take a picture of fuel filter base so I can explain checking fuel pressure. We need to cross some stuff of the list to get to root issue.

    I'll ask again...did you get an opinion on the rack position sensor? If I recall it's inside the back cover on the fuel pump

    Or engine signal sensor.

    Not a PEEC motor, it's an E model. Timing sensor has been brought up. If it was mine, I'd replace it and that wasn't the issue I'd through it in glove box.

    Doesn’t matter what motor it has if the STARTER is bad

    . I understand,
    Don’t want to get in a jam, if it doesn’t start. Unless You two get a 20 ft chain, and parade around the whole neighborhood, smiling and waving at the neighbors. Mine would have already called the Cops by now.
