The history on my (new to me) '89 740FT is 119,000, and a clogged PVC system.

So I removed all of the intake system from the airbox to the turbo and from the intercooler to the block (that is, I removed the intake manifold.

Put all back together and the engine ran fine for abot 20-30 minutes before I shut it down.

New intake manifold gasket; cleaned the injectors and installed new seals; cleaned & adjusted the throttle body and used new gasket; cleaned the PVC system; Inspected hoses and wiring =OK; cleaned grounds; Looked at FPR for any gas leakage on vacuum side = "NO"; checked all coil and distributor wires sof tightness; regapped plugs; etc.

Now it won't re-start.

Cranks well. Acts like it's getting no gas, or there is a massive vacuum leak (like a big hose off somewhere = Not). Will *almost* start once, or when I shoot in some carb cleaner. Tach does bounce while cranking.

Pulled and inspected the FI relay. Looks OK. Jumped pins 30 and 87/2 and have both pumps running.

So, now what?
