yes, only being able to work on the car on weekends when the weather is good drags things out. I had looked at the contacts awhile back. I can see all of them from the top of the panel and I tried checking from the bottom then, nothing seemed out of place but I can try pulling the panel up again.

Well you mentioned jumping the DME and getting fuel pressure, then installing a new DME relay and pressure dropping back off. I think it is unlikely the new DME relay is bad, though possible. But it seems more likely to me it just isn't making good contact. I sure hope you get this going soon.

And why did you not investigate this??????????

WHAT?

If you bypass the dme relay and the car turns over they will fire...... but I thought you tested the injectors firing a few posts back as well????.......

Also a few posts back you mention that you tested numerous times that you are getting fuel?

There is a systematic way to test things. I layed out a 10,000 foot view a few posts back but somehow we are randomly testing different things again.

I wanted you to follow the list I gave you. The list would be complete in an hour easily............

The best advice ANYONE can give you at this point is to tow that vehicle in. Only a friend would be so blunt so please don't read into the tone of my post.....

Time is money....and at a couple hours working on this car every weekend for the last 6 months.

There are times we must admit defeat.

I'm just speculating that they didn't fire because fuel pressure remained constant while cranking with the dme bypassed because i know from previous testing that the injectors fire when the new dme relay is in place. I did the bypass because with the relay in place I did not build pressure at all while cranking and I wanted to see if that changed anything as when I bypassed previously, on several occasions, I could hear fuel filling the rail.
