Last Indian, thank you for this information. The details really help to understand what to do.
I believe I may have already accomplished the last step (bleeding the fuel supply)?: I replaced the fuel filter while I was siphoning the stale gas, and in this model in order to relieve the fuel pressure (before changing the fuel filter), you pull the fuse for the fuel pump and then crank the car several times. Also while I had the fuel filter disconnected I put a hose on the fuel supply line leading from the gas tank, put the fuse back in for the fuel pump, and engaged the fuel pump several times to try to get some more stale fuel out of the tank. So did that accomplish the bleeding or do I still need to do that?
