Searched...came up meaningless* motor failure, hard turn

so now after hours of working on the fuel pump and systems my TII still won't start. I made a hard left turn and the motor quit...yea,yea, check the fuel pump filter....I took mine off and it still won't start.
I hot wired the fuel pump to the rear tail light because it was not getting power from the main relay plug. I sent lots of fuel to the injectors but...they are not firing because the spark plugs are dry when pulled immediately after cranking.

I have spark, and good compression, but no fuel to the rotors. Is there any way to reset the injectors to see if this will get them to fire.
does anyone have any other ideas because i am getting fuel to the lines and with good pressure when hot wired, but none to the housings.

Help.... ...please

The fuel pump only runs if the key is HELD to start. Or the engine actually is running. See the online fsm and the Fuel section.

So pull your two lower sparkplugs out and go to start the engine. You should see a fog of fuel coming out the holes. Personally I'd remove all four sparkplug wires when doing this. DO NOT pull ANY fuses when doing that.

On the whole, if you have spark then you have fuel injectors opening/shuting.

Another way is to pull the cas out of its bore. Turn the key to ON. Spin the cas;'s lower gear. You should hear clicking of the injectors as you turn the cas lower gear. You leave the electrical plug connected to the cas when you do that.

Don't do that if you can't reinstall a cas right.

My personal predjudice says your car is flooded and you don't know it yet.

I will try the aforementioned. I find it hard to believe that the car is flooded, one...the plugs are dry, and especially since the car died while turning hard, which happened once before. I had a friend smell the exhaust while i cranked the motor and he said it smelled like oil. I then pulled the dipstick and smelled the oil, which may have smelled like gasoline, that or my hand was just saturated with fumes from pulling the pump.
