Hello all! Bad way to start but need some help!
After a trouble free boating season (only had to change fuel pump relay), went to fire up the engine and could not get it to start. nothing even close ... seems like there is no fire going on. Here are the facts thus far:
-when ignition is turned on, the fuel pump pressurizes in the first 2 seconds.
- I have spark at the wire leading into the distributor
- I have 50 PSI at the schrader fitting on the injector railing when I turn the ignition on without cranking
- I have ZERO pressure at the low pressure cell on the schrader fitting
- no paint chips on the fuel filter
- no dirt or obstructions visible on the fuel pressure regulator
- distributor cap and rotor are dry and appear OK
- the fuses appear good
Not sure if the ignition relay has a dual purpose… both ignition and fuel.. note: I did have spark at lead to the distributor.
it seems that I’m getting fuel up to the injectors (50 PSI) but not able to fire it up. Am I missing another fuse or something?
Any help would be much appreciated
