Updating this thread to report some progress in my diagnostics of this starting problem.

Spraying starting fluid into the hard plastic black duct attached to the air intake allows the car to start and run briefly. It runs as long as I continue spraying the ether into the duct.

So that points to no fuel delivery. I cannot hear any noise from the fuel pump assembly when turning the key to accessories on, nor when cranking the engine. I am guessing then that either the fuel pump is gone or there is no power getting to the fuel pump.

Please advise how I can move forward from here.

Check fuse? (Where is it?)

Fuel pump relay? (Where is it? how could i test it?)

Bang on fuel tank from underneath with rubber mallet? (Don't bother?)

use multimeter on connections to fuel pump assembly to check for power? (Which wires/terminals? Are there only two?)



Something else? (Suggestions?)

I am not trying to be lazy here in asking for help from you good people, but I know someone here will have answers. I will try to find out answers to these questions but will take me some time.

Will a scan be likely to give any pointers at this stage?

Any help that you can afford me will, as always, be most gratefully received.

Thanks,

Paul
