Also, check the ground at the rear of the intake manifold. There is a cluster of (white?) wires held down with a screw or bolt (I don't remember). I once couldn't start my 145 and eventually got it towed home. Three hours later I finally discovered the bad ground. Although it was firmly bolted down, it wasn't making contact so I cleaned it, screwed it back down and whirrr *click* (that's the fuel pump engaging) it started! The car still sucked, but that's another story.
