All, I'm seriously frustrated with the old van. I put 10 gallons of fresh gas in the tank. Check the fuel pump for the "noise" when the key is first turned--Check. Check for fuel coming out the filter when the starter is cranked--Check. Check for fuel in the injection lines when the starter is cranked--Check. Check for spark--Check. Spray Starter fluid in the air cleaner housing and crank engine--Check. Crank starter by itself (minus starting fluid)--FAIL. WTF? I have spark, fuel, power, and the old boat won't go on it's own. I put starting fluid in and it runs like a top. I'm getting fuel at the FI lines. I don't have 4 simultaneous injector failures. I've even swapped computers, AFM, & the fuel pump. I have new plugs, cap, rotor, and wires. Oh, I do have the O2 sensor completely unhooked (Some jerk stole it, yes, stole it). Man, I hate this...
