Re: the bird still isnt running(got a video)
Have you checked fuel pressure?..at the back of the intake is a port for testing the fuel pressure.Put a gauge on it, turn the key on and see what the reading is?..then watch the pressure and see if it drops rapidly or stays steady.If it stays steady its a good sign.It shouldnt drop but a few lbs in 20 minutes if it drops below 20 LBS in less then 20 mintues you have a problem in the system...(pump,fuel regulator,injectors leaking).I would start there..Your going to have to run some tests and post them.Sounds like a weak pump..just barely enough pressure to almost start it but not quite.Thats my two cents..

Check your ignition module, theyll get you every time, if you change it make sure to grease it up before you put it in or it will burn up fast. I dont know where King George is but I am coming to Sandston, VA the week after labor day, if your still having problems I'd be happy to help.
