I put in some new gas And It would not start, Checked my fuel pressure at the T and it was 35 psi I pinched the return line and watched it go over 80 before I released it, I checked spark and had it , Checked compression all over 110 psi, I checked voltage at the injectors with a dc voltage detector and saw it pulsing but still the van would not fire, not even try to fire.
