I haven't done much but scratch my head and adjust the tps to read .99 millivolts. There is no sputtering , no problem running. It just won't start without some ether shot into it. If it had a mechanical fuel pump and carb I'd say the idle circuit in the carb was stopped up. That's not the case here. It has consistent fuel pressure throughout the rpm range (forgot the exact number of psi). All the injectors are ticking. None of the plugs show a rich or lean condition. The o2 sensor is new. I put the old one back in and borrowed one from a running car to make sure mine weren't the cause. The plugs are all firing when the engine is spun over. I'm at a loss here? If you fellas have any idea where to start I'd be very thankful.
