1985 245 GLTi Wont Start and I'm almost at my wits end. 200

I checked all the hoses and wires for splits and cracks. I replaced all of the damaged wires fromthe harness and there were no holes or splits in the hoses. I beleive the frequency valve is attached to the air intake boot? I checked the connection there at the passenger side front fender and it looks fine. I haven't tested it because my Haynes doesn't tell me the specs on it.

The hoses from the auxillary air valve are fine, no splits, no cracks. I checked the voltage and the resistance to and fromthe valve and they are reasonably good. Haynes says the valve needs a minimum of 11.5 volts. I had 11 volts. Do you think 0.5 volts is going to make a difference?

I have tried to start the car with my foot tothe floor, all that happens is the engine turns over faster but still doesn't start???

I don't think my B21FT has lambda or is that the same as my O2 sensor on my exhaust manifold?

Any more ideas?

Thanks though for your help. I will recheck waht you have suggested to make sure I haven't missed anything.
