Woo #$%@ Hoo
Woo $%#@^$ Hoo!
Yer never gonna believe what is was...
I pulled relays and fuses as a first check-up. Well, higher amperage will obviously help a relay to work better right? Well that must have been the case. The reply worked when tested, but not in the car.
So, I was sitting out in the carport waiting for Eric to come, and looking at the wiring diagram. Thinking, well hell I will just start replacing everything I can in the path of the ignition.
Replaced one EGI replay, right next to the #@$# diagnosis connector and Voila` instant engine. I think it took maybe 5 seconds. A damn junkyard pocket part.
!
I need a drink.

OK Jason... I think I have you name right.... Here's my long range diagnosis of what may likely be causing your problem....
Open your fuse box... under the hood... the one that is attached to your batteries + terminal...
Now, Pull the 120AMP fuse... it's the WHITE ONE THAT"S bolted in at the bottom, I believe, and take a close look at the fuseable link... in the window.
IS IT BROKEN? BLOWN??
If so. that's your problem. This fuse can be blown,,, and in every other respect the car seems to act normally. I mean when you try to start it. It'll crank over, you'll get idiot lights on the dash, I think you'll even get fuel pump sounds but NO START!!
While you're there, check the EGI fuse... that's the pastel Pink colored one... if that one is blown the car won't start either...
In Fact, that's a good fuse to pull if you ever have to disable your car from starting but need the motor to crank over with the ignition key.
Hope that Helps...
pm me and let me know how you make out
Cheers

Guys I need some help with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem. I changed a bunch of stuff out this Winter. New Main harness, new MSD boxes-wires-plugs-coils. New external fuel pump and new top feeds. But I have fuel but NO SPARK at all. It cranks but will not spark. I have tried the egi fuse and main 120 fuse and they are all right. Where is the EGI relay that was the problem in this thread? What else can I check before I pull the crank angle sensors again and is there an easy way to check the ignitors? Could there be a fuse that I am missing or am I missing something with the harness? I am stumped again and getting very sick of this car.
Oh I did a test on the MSD stuff from their manual and used the trigger wire to check if they are working. They are working great with tons of spark.
