Default 84 starting problem

I have an 84S that I cannot get to start. It will run for second of so, I think on the cold start injector. I've tried bypassing the fuel pump relay, I can hear the pump run, cleaning the injector ground on the passenger cam tower. I have confirmed I have spark.
Not sure what to check next. Hoping for ideas

When did the car last run? Is this problem sudden and following some other event? Does the car have factory alarm and does it function? If I recall there is an ignition brain (EZK?) relay to jumper as well and it is a Y-type jumper.
Maybe someone else will have other ideas.
Good luck,
Dave

Relay XVI is the fuel injection relay (4th from the right on the top row) 928.615.119.00

Replace it with a new relay or remove the relay to test with a 3 pronged jumper (terminal 30 to both terminal 87's)

Thank You

I should have remember the Relay, Relay, Relay comment.
I was worried it was the injection brain.

The coil is open on the old relay. Definitely bad. Make me wonder what else I should be carrying for spares. I will need to make a 3-way relay jumper. I only have a 2-way now.
