fuel pressure should be 35lbs pressure.

I would say that your fan belt is loose,the one which goes round the alternator and water pump pulley behind the front fan. You can loosen two maybe three nuts on the alternator,lever it until tight.I use a short pole so not over tight, as you do this the nuts need to be tightened.It would be better if you had help first time. For safety sake check belt for splits and cracks or if really thin and shiny.If so change it. LUCK

Alignment,or front tires need balanced

That symptom is typical of a bad chassis ground connection. You will need to remove the instrument cluster and check all connections, cleaning all connections to chassis ground.

If you have checked plugs as you have and fuel is good, you have not put diesel in it.Then it could be worn points,base plate which points sit on could be loose or broken.The cap could need a clean on the parts where rotor arm strikes,cap could be cracked usually short between the points on cap in the way of a line going round.Or it could be the coil giving gaps in out put.Cheapest way,distributor cap ,rotor arm and points, then base plate under points.You say pump o.k, have you changed filters in fuel line,if blocked could cause your problem. LUCK

My door ajar would stay on after I opened the drivers side rear door. Instead of replacing the switch I opened the door and sprayed WD40 with the tube attached to the top of the the latch. The switch is mounted on the top of the latch assembly so I did this a few times and opened and closed the door a few times and now it works.

Check your fluid level, and belts. If the pump is making noise it is probably weak and will need to be replaced.

check all fuses but it is probably the motor in the door
