Re: Starting problem

I'm not sure what my fuel pressure is. I don't have a guage for that so I'm sort of unsure how to check that. There is no specific time it does this. It just started doing it a few days ago, and it's just gotten worse every time i drive it. What seems to have been working is I pull the MPI fuse, and crank the engine over for like 5 seconds trying to get everything out of there that I can. Then put the fuse back in. This works sometimes after just 1 try, or after 10 tries other times. So I'm not sure if it's actually helping, or if it's just coincidence. If I can get the car to start, I too have the ability to shut off the injectors 1 by 1 with my logger. Maybe that'd be a nice quick way to see if they shut off. Also how can I check my TPS? On the logger it would show the throttle at around lik e8% at idle, and 100% at WOT. That seems about right to me, so can I assume it's working fine?

One last thing I noticed a little bit ago. The little solonoid that the FPR vauum lines connect to, it was ticking real fast, kinda sounded like a little relay was just going apeshit in there. We unplugged it and plugged it in again. It started, but then I shut it off and tried again and it wouldn't start again. So there I'm also not sure if that actually did something, or was just a coincidence. What I did after that was take one of those other solonoids right next to them that I'm not using anymore (emissions are removed), and hooked up the vacuum lines and connector to it, and it didn't fix a thing. So I'm thinking that is probably good as well.
