Here's the latest:

In frustration, I finally grabbed a can of starting fluid and sprayed it in the intake. Bam! Fired up! Beautiful sound I never thought I'd hear again.

And then, of course, the motor sputtered and died a couple of seconds later.

I think this confirms it's a fuel delivery problem, and not the timing belt.

The obvious question is "what kind of fuel delivery problem." My gut tells me it's one of the fuel pumps, given the 270k miles on the clock. And manually grounding the FP relay isn't working for me the way it did when the ECU died.

But...I can hear something whirring back there when I manually ground/jumper the fuel pump circuit. Which one would I be hearing? If I stick my hand on the exterior pump and feel it vibrating while someone powers the circuit, does that rule out the exterior pump? How can one tell if the in-tank pump is working or not?
