Thanks. She took the train home.

When I was on the phone with her it was night & it was raining. I was afraid to have her trying to get a spark. But she did the paperclip jumper on the fuel relay connector. (Would that be the same as jumping at the fuses?) She said she could hear the fuel pumps, so, I had her try to start the engine. It turned over but no start.

A wire off of the bottom of socket 6? I like that idea.

It was a struggle just to have her find the little OBD box. When the 25 amp fuse was invisible (evidently the 1992 doesn't have one)I had her email me some photos under the hood. [Still haven't figured out what that big orange connector is for... it had a blue wire and it was near the location that I expected to see a fuse holder: blue is for battery, right?]

I wanted to do the test where you push the OBD button twice and it goes through the sequence of making the EGR and injectors "click" and I think it also checks the crank sensor.

If the car was not 4 hours away, I was mentally picturing a gallon of fresh gas, spark, crank sensor, swap a 561, coil, fuel regulator, ohm meter on the ECU, et cetera... I have two parts cars that were still drivable but "totalled."

One thing that I've never had a problem with is the "power stage."
Does the 1992 have one? (It is not a regina ignition of that I am certain.) What happens when a power stage goes south?
