Hi all.

My daily-driver 240 wagon won't start after returning from an 8 day vacation. It turns over and over but shows no sign of life. Here's what I know:

- There is gas in the tank.
- Key-Position II produces the usual 'buzz' from the rear of the car & from under the hood as well.
- An inductive timing light flashes nicely on all 4 plug wires.
- The 25 amp fuse is still okay (I bypassed it 8 years ago with a different type).
- Fuses 4 & 5 have power.
- My fuel injector relay was replaced 5 years ago.

I are stumped & I'm not sure what to do except to spin the engine for another 10 minutes and hope for some life. (Animal sacrifice hasn't worked in the past...) Any ideas?

Thanks heaps,
Splats.
