I had originally posted the stumbling no-start problem with my 744T on March 21st, and I want to thank everyone who responded for the info and what turned out to be quite an education for me. (No pain, no gain, maybe...) After checking fuses, R-Interference relay, FI relay, crank position sensor, fuel pressure and flow, both pumps, voltage at the injectors and spark, I finally looked at the plugs. (Maybe I shoild have done that first?) They were black and of course soaked when I pulled them. I replaced them and it started immediately. Embarrassing, but what a way to learn! I'll drive a week and then check the new ones to see if its running rich and then change the oil - I can't imagine that gas hasn't diluted the oil from 2 weeks of cranking without firing. Thanks again.
