89 200q no start...

[Brooke Fairbanks]

Hello and bare with the new guy...     ...I'm on other automotive lists and
as new
members join, they tend to ask the same common questions over and over and
over, so here goes my redundantly redundant question from the department of
redundancy department....

I've got an 89 200 tq with 143k miles.  It cranks over but will not
start and the fuel pump does not buzz when turning the motor over...
    ...here's what I've done so far:

I've bought the Bentley manual.
I've checked for fuel at the injector...  ...none.
I've checked for fuel at the filter...  ...some.
I've checked for fuel at the pump...   ...cracked the fitting and got
sprayed.
I've checked the pump relay port for current...   ...with the key on 12v at
port 46/50 and 48/50.
I've jumped the relay to run the fuel pump...  ..it runs.
I've replaced the relay with a new relay  (made in Israel)...   ...no start.
I've replaced the fuel filter....   ...still no start.
I've removed the fuel pump to test if it pumps...   ...pumps fine.
I've thrown wrenches...    ...no start.
I've cussed...    ...no start.
I've sobbed uncontrollably from utter frustration....    ...my wife has
started, started to thumb through the yellow pages for a divorce lawyer.
I've joined an Audi support group...   ...audifans.com.
I've written my first of many Audi related questions to audifans.com.
Does the computer fire the spark plugs if the fuel pump is not functioning?
What else should I try?
