My TA won't start. Here's what I've done so far, pulled all the plugs and cleaned 'em up, a few weren't pretty but not too bad. A timing light I borrowed yesterday would flash, so I beleive I have spark. I checked the fuel pressure after that and nothing. Been checking things, the relay checks out ok, it's getting the right volts when and where it's supposed to. I've been trying to check the volts at the pump harness on the fuel tank but have yet to get a sucessful reading. After letting it sit for a night, I went out and hooked everything back up and turned the key to the on position and the fuel pressure jumped to about 30psi. I tried to start it and it wouldn't go, the pressure just dropped a little. So I tried to get the voltage at the pump harness again, nothing. Plugged it back in and got 28 psi. I decided to check for codes again this morning, and the strangest thing happened, my cooling fan came on when doing that. I know this is how it's supposed to work, but the fan hasn't worked off of ECM control properly for about 2 months. Also, the hatch light stays on constantly. This started happening, to my knowledge, at the same time that my FP problems started. Is this some hidden electrical gremlin? Possibly a bad ECM and/or fuel pump?

 

Now I'm a little more confused. I thought maybe I had bad wiring between the fp and the relay, so I ran a wire from the tan/white off the relay and plugged it in where the red wire on the pump harness is. And then where the black wire is on the harness I ran to a know good ground. I was able to read 12 volt for 2 seconds, then it dropped to 4v until I tried cranking, which shot up to around 10-12 volts. But the fuel pressure didn't come up. I plugged the orignal harness in and got the same volt readings at the relay and the fuel pressure came up to 28. I'm going to see if I can't rig something so I can read the volts at the harness with it connected..

One other thing I checked was it didn't seem to matter if I had the fuel pressure regulator hooked up, it just read 28 psi. Is this a bad fpr? Could it be that easy?
