Need guidance on a '91 TQ 200 20v that won't start

[Brian K. Ullrich]

Jim, 

I agree with Tony. Having just gone through this myself, I'd start with spark. 

FYI, the fuel pump assy is IN the fuel tank, and is dirty nasty smelly business. Last resort sort of stuff.

I changed the large fuel filter in the engine compartment, pulled the spark plugs and noted they were all dry.  I loosened the front banjo bolt on what looks like a fuel rail above the fuel injectors on top of the engine and got fuel to spray out.
