Update! I had bad relay board, and 3 bad injectors but all replaced now.
The car started on second key turn and idles smooth. I changed the master cylinder and will be bleeding rear and front brakes in the next couple days. I need to adjust the clutch, was having problems into first and reverse. Yay for me! side note, i did take the car out for a slow drive on a quiet street. |

Easy to do. |
