OK kids this is another plee for clues on my 3 day no-start siuation...
car:1987 745 turbo (B230FT just over hauled) and installed.
Questions:
1. what role does the crank sensor at the fly wheel play? Remember this is a turbo engine..does it complete the ground loop?? in there but seems to not go beyond the terminal attached to the valve cover??
2. How do i TEST the hall effect sensor, 2nd one installed (are two bad?) this is where i feel to be chasing my tail!
3.And would a fuel leak at the tank feed line to the secong pump cause a shut down of the pumps.
to summerize the dellema for those who have not been following my FUN so far:
-I have fuel to rail
-I have 12vdc at injectors
-I have no spark
-i do have 12vdc to both sides of coil
-i have both pumps activated with jumper
-all grounds are good
-FI relay is good/ had one fish eye I re-soldered it
-good fresh batt and a back up so ample amps
-radio suppresor seems good
-balast is good
-Plugs are bone dry no gasoline on them and no spark
......SO IF YOU HEAR A FUNNY SOUND COMMING FROM MICH IT IS ME BEATING MY HEAD IN CAR!
!thank in advance!

1. None

2. Pull the distributor and, with the ignition on, see if there's 12 volts between the + and - terminals on the connector. Spin it and see if there's a 5 volt square wave on the middle terminal.

3. No.

You need a ground one side of the coil for spark; this comes from the "power stage" next to the battery, on the fender. Pull the connector and see if it's full of water.

big break in the "case"!!! I was looking over the lead to the hall sensor testing it as descrided in FAQs (I new that info was there could not find it again), any way i had key to run wiggles the wire and the rear pump activated!!!!! There is a god!! So striped insulation and found ground and red wire had melted together !!! repaired tha t now still will not get fuel, I DO HAVE SPARK NOW!!! so not out of the woods yet but better!!

If the Fuel Pressure Regulator has failed wide open then the gas goes round and round and won't inject?

good thought ..gonna go check, but i did have some gas comming out buy the top of an injector, during testing of fuel pumps?? but hey i will try any thing..THANKS!!!

RE: but hey i will try any thing..THANKS!!!

will ya try fixing my brick? *smile*
my Tach was twitching as i was driveing down the freeway today. the engine seemd to be running allright, but i think maby the hall sensor if failing?
how hard are they to fix on a 760 gle V6 (1985/1986)
