Have you verified that you have spark?. Also, hook your fuel pressure gauge back up, turn the key on, and see if that 45lbs of pressure holds or if it drops down to 0.

I ran into some real good step by step instructions on how to troubleshoot the no start condition. It was the Ignition module that was bad.
I should have known, I have this problem before in these electronic ignition Cars. Were my dell meter?
I let all the fancy stuff cloud my thinking.
But now i own a fuel Pressure Test gage and some NOID lights.
$80.00 at Advance Auto with life time guarantee.
Is that over priced or what. They only been making ICM's for 35years now.
Thanks for all the help
