Wow, the Z is now a pleasure to drive without the threat of an idle stall and accelerates smoothly in any gear with no bucking. I will also check out the fuel pumps and codes when I get back home. I can't thank you guys enough. Stay tuned you are now my go to guys for any future problems.

Great! Now instead of dishing out $39.50, I went to Advance Auto Parts, bought a hard plastic hose (1/4" or 3/16") and a piece of corresponding rubber hose for connections. At the joint between the rubber hose (used as fittings) and hard plastic a dab of crazy glue to keep them together and you have a cheap MAP hose!
