yoda....i was saying the car would only start under NO feul pressure..taking the fuse out.after about 6 hrs. today i think i traced it to the fuel pump resistor.....i never knew it even had one...spec calls for 1.2 ohms........it had0.0 so im gonna replace that and hopefully thats the isssue....if not im leaning twords the fuel pump control moduel.

Not sure how fuel pressure is regulated on a J30, but on at least one car I know of, if the fuel pressure is too high the injectors will not be able to open.

Check the fuel pressure if you can.
