I cant figure this thing out... it sparks but no fuel delivery. IF anyone is in the area or close and would like to stop by and take a look it would be greatly appreciated. I have tried everything and I think i might just be overlooking something important. Thanks

What all have you tried? Check the fuel pump & injectors. My 240 had rust in the gas tank and the fuel pump was locked up. I've since replaced both.Good Luck!

Unplug your fuel line infront of the fuel filter and have a buddy turn on the ignition and see if gas sprays out (into a bucket or something). My buddy has his fuel lines reversed once and was totally stumped....but with the trick listed above you can at least see if your fuel pump is working.

if your not getting fuel then its something to do with the line,pump,tank or ecu...I would check for fuel like the last post and if you get fuel there then its a block somewhere if your not getting fuel then check to see if your getting any fire to the pump. if your getting fire then its time for a new pump. try that or let us know if you have tried or what you have tried so we can help...

I am getting fuel all the way to the fuel rail... Its like the injectors are not getting power to let the fuel in... The pump is good... and I have pressure

Injectors get 12v to one pin while at IGN position, and ECU turns them on and off with earth. Do you have 12V at one of the pins for each of the injector connectors?

If battery voltage is low, the injectors will stop firing, if using factory ECU.

Have you checked fuel pressure at the input side of the fuel rail? Thats the line that connects to the pipe on the side of the fuel rail, not the regulated side on the back of the rail, that feeds back to the tank.

also if you check and you are getting the 12v to the wire the injectors could be clogged. I dont know if you have ever cranked this motor but when mine came from japan a couple of the injectors where stuck open and my car ran like crap. so check for fire at the injectors and then try pulling injectors and soke in carb cleaner.
