Default Re: Argh!! Why Won't It Start?

hmmm...
check the connections to the starter...
measure amps on the battery and look for draw when you crank it, if no appreciable current drop, then go downstream and check ignition connections, clean terminal posts on batt and starter relay,
check fuses.
Verify fuel pressure and operation of fuel pump. If good, verify spark. You said you had it, but how did you know? Screwdriver in the spark boot check?
Let us know a few more details to help you troubleshoot...
Good luck....

connections to starter are good,
battery has draw when i crank it,
fuel pressure is accurate and fuel pump is turning on and working correctly (ONLY when i bypass the relay under the seat...fuel pump WILL NOT turn on with the ignition switch :S)
screwdriver in the spark boot...yepp..i sure got spark!

i replaced all the relays....and still..no start...
intertia switch, wiring, fuel pump...all correct..

could it be my fuel filter?? but why would that prevent the car from starting???

what about my ECC?? I ordered a new ecc..and it should be here in 3 weeks or so..

what do you guys think???

Thanks!
Erik...
