'84 240T fuel pump/relay WTF? HELP K-Jet Gurus 200

Guys, sorry for the french...I had a stumbling and terrible backfiring motor at load (last thanksgiving), the main pump making a growling sound. Pre-pump right? Replaced that, still growling main pump. OK, the pump's got 140K on it, just get a new one. Did that. Still growling...decided to upgrade the pre-pump (from IPD). That solved the growl. In the mean time the relay was fried. Got a replacement... Started right up, ran better for a few miles about 100, still not quite right tho, good enough for the college kid. Brought the car home last week, died in driveway. Fuel pump relay dead, noticed it was getting warmish. Someone suggested the hesitation was the injectors, so I sprang for 4 new ones. I'm sitting here 2 fuel pumps, 4 injectors, 2 fuel pump relays later. Car won't start even if I jump the pumps. Plugs are fouling, clean them up, get a sputter, and then nothing. The pumps both work with a direct wire. What is this backfiring?? It is thru the exhaust. Checked t.belt. New wires, cap, rotor. Timing on 12%. Compression is good on all 4 cylinders. Please somebody, give me direction here. I don't have a shop to take it to, nobody know kjets around here. I'm out of $ throwing parts at it.
Please stop me from pulling parts of my other running bricks!!!!!!!!!!!!
