Also.. pressure on fuel rail.

There is a small white button under the passenger side dash on the floor, push that.

How much?

Are you getting any fuel into the cylinders themselves?

If you have the right pressure at the rail, and it's starting up with starting fluid, it would seem that your injectors are not opening. If you have gas in your cylinders (with good fuel pressure), but it's just not firing, then I would guess that you simply just have bad gas.

had the same thing happen to my BII. Check your timing.

running out ideas.

i have replaced;
fuel pump on frame
fuel filter
pump relay
fuel pressure reg.

odd.. when i went back over today it cranked right up, cut off and wont restart?
unless i either the intake, then it cuts off when run out fumes,
does it have a pump in tank?

See above post. I replaced the same things you have this past weekend and it was the timing.

There is a low pressure pump in the tank, if it was bad, it'd prolly still start, but you would have pressure problems at the rail when it's under load, since the high pressure pump on the rail can't feed itself fast enough to keep up with the demand from the injectors, which is minimal at idle. only takes a couple minutes to check the timing and it's not uncommon for the harmonic balancer to go bad...

STUPID = self correcting problem

Well I towed it back home today and had an idea.. I unhooked line going into pump and hooked up a electric pump from gas can. Thought if it was tank sock or tank pump problem this would cure it .right?
It almost started. then locked up. I pulled plugs to find cyc full of fuel. I removed coil wire and went to spin it over to push out all fuel. Thats when the fire ball rolled out from under hood, yeah I know. Will be posting parts for sale soon,
