    96 protege headaches

    i got an issue with my daughter car and shes driving me nuts when her car is going to be ready can some one guide me. please car will start when it cold but will starve for gas. i play with the peddle until it gets to about 2000 rpm and it reves ok, but when it goes down it's again starve for gas. once it dies or if i turn it off it won't start anymore unless i let it sit for a few hours. i replaced the timing belt, checked for spark replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. I check pressure on the lines to check the pressure regulator and it's at 45 pds. i checked the compression they are 110, 150, 150 ,110. dont realy know what to check next with out throwing money into it for nothing.
