zoltan:

assuming engine was running before, the fact that there is spark suggests
a fuel problem. a quick and dirty test is to sptitz in some well atomized
starting fluid with engine cranking. if she tries to take off, all is
well, except not getting fuel.

there any of you who can help with this?  I changed the relay, the pump
works if power applied to it, there is spark, compression is 150 or better
all over.  I am not sure if the injectors are activated either.
