OK everyone, as always, THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!!
I checked the plug again, and THERE WAS SPARK - doh! So that took me back down the fuel problem. I figured I'd check the simple stupid stuff first (before posting on this and mye28.com) :)
And right before I pulled the fuel relay, to look for a match among my small pile, I rolled over the fuse and found that it was crap, and not even lodged in correctly...
So I swapped it with one that was a little better, and of course it started up well and drove around the block. I drove it a while to charge the battery. Then once safely back in the driveway I turned it off, and restarted it right up...
Now I'll be getting all new fuses... :) And for now we'll run with it. And we'll all keep our fingers crossed.
It really does drive well. It'll go faster than I should. 23mpg! With the sweet hum of the m30 with a 2.5-inch pipe. And it sure is cooler than any other car that cost $500. :)
Thanks everyone, and happy motoring!
Nate
PS - But if anyone is interested, I'd sell it... :)
