Well I hate to confess to something so stupid, but In my meager defense, when I started this attempted repair there was a leaking injector. I checked for residual pressure at the fuel line connection to the fuel rail and there was none. I changed the primary pump because it had never been changed and the main pump and filter because that was done about twenty years ago. this led to the pressure regulator, injectors and everything else. after all this the car kept running better and better but still had the starting problem. I kept opening that fuel line and there wasn't pressure so I was stuck on fuel system. Only after some of you guys started talking about temperature sensor did I start to realize that the car started right up regardless of weather there was sufficient pressure, It just didn't run after. Just like starting without the choke. I had changed that sensor some years ago so I wasn't sure but I know things don't last forever. There was resistance at the sensor and I wanted to check the wiring but didn't have the right diagram of wires in the ECU plug. Again you guys came to the rescue and when I checked the voltage at the ECU plug I did get a voltage reading although it was slightly high, and it did drop as the engine warmed up just not within spec. I think Bentley wanted around one volt warm and mine was two point something, nearly three. I checker everything else o2 sensor etc. and the temp was the only thing that didn't seem within spec. I decided to change it anyway and the car started properly. and I feel like an idiot.
So thanks for all your help and U promise to try to be more observant in the future.
I'm blaming it on old age.
