Have you checked for spark while cranking? Check fuel pressure at the rail, you could have a swapped or pinched line. Is the single white wire from the FI harness is connected to coil terminal 1? With the key on check for power at the center terminal of the resistor pack. Report back.
First off, thanks for the advice. I made some progress tonight
1) There is a spark on all wires.
2) I installed a pressure gauge on the nipple on the passenger fuel rail. Operating the fuel pump via the air flap, no pressure! I checked for kinks in the fuel lines. Then loosened the clamp on the return fuel line in the engine bay and there was a relief of pressure. That determined the fuel lines coming out of the tunnel are reversed to normal. I swapped the rubber fuel hoses, checked pressure again getting around 30 psig.
3) White wire from the FI harness to coil terminal 1 confirmed.
4) Checked the coil resistor pack and found two of the wires had bad connections. Resoldered the whole thing and reinstalled.
The engine turns over and gave a brief glimpse of wanting to catch. I wondered if maybe the battery got low from all the cranking I was doing so jumpered a second battery. No improvement, just a few sputters but doesn't want to catch. I can smell exhaust so at least I know there's some combustion.
What next?
