Only twice did I ever get over zero. I got 30 twice.
I never got it to start, though. I got no readings at all until I messed with that little solenoid that manix also did.
After I disconnected and reconnected the solid green one middle left, it jumped to 30 PSI. but I never got it to start. Perhaps it was a coincidence since I was starting it and trying to watch through the crack in the hood for changes to the gauge.
I just got it started, and it's running at 30 PSI constantly. I hear the pump priming now, too. And a few posts up I mentioned (I think) that on my Renix Monitor II that my oxygen relay voltage had recently dropped real low around when this started.
Well, I was cleaning out the relay plugs on the passenger side for the umpteenth time - the ones I assume are a fuel pump reply, the o2 heater relay, and 2 others - so on a hunch...I just swapped two of them. I turned the key, heard the pump, it started right up, my o2 heater reading was back in the 13s (it was dropping under 1 for a while here).
I wanted to check voltages on the fuel pump but I am not sure where to check for it. Do I take that back panel off again behind the spare tire?
I am going to give it a bit and go see if it starts again.
It was the middle two I swapped, although I don't have a power latch (well, I don't think). All of them have been removed and cleaned at some point, used a dental pick to clean and pry the contacts a little on all of them, too. But this definitely is starting to make sense.
All the relays looked the same ? I will try to get the block out this weekend and check the wiring underneath it.
so i tested the fuel pressure...i got about 31-32 psi with the key off. it stayed around 30psi for like 5 minutes before i release the pressure. i then turned the key to ON and got 0. i tried cranking and got 0.
i think the fuel pressure tester might have failed at some point because it wont give me a reading. i tried getting a reading with the key off and got 0. ive tried on a working car and still nothing. So i need to go get another tester. Any other thing i should try aside from the fuel pressure?

My tester would read 0 many times too, while cranking. Then occasionally it would hit 30 and still wouldn't start, then occasionally hit 30 and would start.
I cleaned all four of the relays and their sockets and tightened up all the pins today. Mine has started every time the last several days. Tomorrow I drive it around further than the neighborhood.
