lotis - test the resistance of the crank position sensor...if that doesn't send a signal to the computer it'll kill the fuel pump at the relay.  Should be around 600 ohms.

Good news! She cranks and starts.

But I have no idea why she decided to do it.
I think my fuel pressure regulator may be bad as Dave was saying because my fuel delivery just isn't good...I dunno. I am going to have to look further into it.

Thanks for all the help...esp Desktop Dave...

Lotis...good luck.

Sweet.  Glad I could help, not that I did much.  I'm worried that it didn't get tracked down.  Some auto shops will give you a free rental on tools, maybe they'll have a pressure gauge?  Harbor Freight 'round here is usually good for cheap disposable tools.
