    '01. Cranks, has spark but no start. BIG IMPORTANT EDIT: burbles/tries to start on ether.

    Ran normally two weeks ago. Assuming no fuel. Usual suspects?

    I can send it to a damn good cheap shop, but if I can poke at a couple relays with a VOM and save some money, that's a bonus.

    Cam angle sensor? That's what mine did, but I had no spark.

    obvious question: is there fuel pressure?

    Didn't have a chance to check for fuel pressure today, but since I have spark but suddenly no start, I'm assuming no fuel.

    I probably won't have much time to actually work on the thing aside from testing/replacing a relay or fuse or some such. I'm hoping that this is one of those known issues that everybody runs into eventually.

    And yeah, having spark is the only reason I'm not replacing the CAS/CPS straight away.

    fuel pump relay and or fuel pump gone bad? Not sure on an NB, but I know to test the relay on my NA, I jumpered FP and ground under the hood, and checked for voltage at the pump. No voltage, so I got a used pump shipped from Tom @ Parts Group for ~$55.
