[s-cars] 94 S4 Won't Start

[Robert Myers]

You can tell if the failure is due to a dead FPR by pulling the FPR ind 
inserting a jumper wire between the two load connectors of the FPR 
socket.  If the engine will start and run you have a dead FPR. If it 
doesn't then the FP itself is the likely culprit.  You can drive the car 
to get home with the jumper installed (assumig that the problem is the 
FPR) just pull the jumper when you stop for more than a couple of minutes.

The last time such a failure happened for me there was absolutely no 
warning.  No noise.  No faltering.  No nuthin'.  It just quit while I 
was doing about 75 on the highway and would not start again.  New FP 
solved the problem.

I drove to the ski area where the car sat for about 7 hours; when I attempted to start it at the end of the day it fired but would not respond to throttle inputs and after about 30 seconds it died. After setting for about 10 minutes I again attempted to start the engine with the same results. At this point I disconnected the fuel line from the tank at the fuel filter and cranked the engine; there was no fuel flow. I'm assuming that the problem is either the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay. Bentley says that I need LED tester US 1115 to check the fuel pump relay and other associated components of the fuel delivery system. I would appreciate any thoughts as to the cause of the problem and how to go about diagnosis. Help will be greatly appreciated.
