4k won't run

[Kenneth Folkman Jr.]

The fuel pump seems to be working.  It's getting fuel to the fuel
distributer.  One strange thing did happen, but it only happened once.  The
car tried to start itself, the key was off, the engine turned over and
started running for a couple seconds.

A Bentley manual would definately help, but I don't think we'll find one
locally.  We're trying to get the car running for a rallycross on Sunday.

> The usual cuplprits- check fuel pump running, fuel pump relay, fp wiring
and fusing.
> check power to the ECU and other ignition CIS parts.  Check fp check valve
too.
> Check all hoses for broken or excessive leaking vacuum lines.
> When was the fuel filter last changed?

> The only way to evaluate the CIS is perform the system pressure and flow
tests.

> I'd at least start by "jumpering" the FPR ( the two large connectors on
the FPR socket usually
> relay#10)
> and see if that makes the FP run and then see if the engine will start and
run.
> If it doesn't it's a good chance the pump is not working, but a full
diagnostics

pump load @ voltage.
> Get the Bently it's really the only source of info on some things. The
haynes is a
