Then I went on to try the electrical connectors to the fuel injectors. So I replaced the fuel pump, tried to start again same problem, no start and relay clicking constantly when key on. I tried it and the bulb didn't light up at all. I tested both sides of all 4 and none of them made it light up. I haven't managed to get a friend to help yet but I should be able to tonight.

I gave it a few cranks, and it still wouldn't start. They said try each of the connector's 2 sockets and one of them should make the bulb light up, and if not then the injectors aren't getting power. I put gas in and I knew it wasn't the battery because the lights were starting. These terms are used for identification only. Then I tried taking the gas line loose at the fuel filter, and that got me a few drops out but no more.

To do this, he said make a 'test light' by taking a 12v light bulb and attaching 2 pieces of wire to the leads, then take this test light and attach one side to a part of the metal frame and take the electrical connector off each fuel injector and put the other side in each socket of the electrical connector.
He said with the key in the on position, one of the two sockets should make the light light up. It was making noise n wanted to turn over, but it wasn't.

I sprayed starting fluid in breather it started so I figured it to be a fuel issue, so I changed fuel filter, was no change still no start. I tried connecting the bulb straight to the positive terminal of the battery to make sure the bulb worked and it did. I traced it to a relay, well I figured possibly the pump was bad. But someone suggested checking to make sure that the fuel injectors are getting power. I tried this with all 4 injectors and none of them made it light up.
So I had it towed to my house. The tank came off with no trouble except 1 very stubborn bolt. Or is the injector only open for a fraction of a second, in which the light would start to come on then immediately go off before I can even see any light coming from it?
