Before changing pumps, though, I'd do a confirmation test. The best test is to make sure you have pressure (2.5 bar) at the fuel rails via the test port shown here:



If you don't have a fuel pressure gauge, a true Dorki style ghetto test would be to remove the test port cap, hold a cup under it and have a helper jumper the fuse. If the pump works, you should see fuel flow. If not, you get nothing. If you do this, obviously be careful with the gasoline but also make sure not to lose the little ball bearing that's inside the test port cap.

Make damn sure you have the cover over the fuse panel right there as well.

Good point. Forgot about that - my rear fuse panel is long gone.

Rick has graciously offered a pump gratis - all the help and now this...

Thank you to all

Yeah-Yeah, now that I have done a good dead I can get back to being my typical asshat self.

Friends,

A few weeks ago I posted the "crank no fire" thread here, and swapped out the DME relay. She started right up! Then I went out of town for a week (had to miss the tech inspection at ASG), went to my garage tonight and...crank - no fire! If anyone has a moment to swing by and take a look, I would be most grateful.

Thanks.
