Pin 37 - this is switched +12V coming from DME relay pin 87. (ignition ON)
Pins 2, 18 & 24 are all ground points. Use a meter set to ohms. Should be less than 0.2 Ohm. Put one probe on the DME pin and other probe on chassis ground.

did you mean to mention pin 18 twice?
I can tell you already, that I don't have power @ pin 37 with the key on. The only way to get power to position 37 was to jumper the DME relay at the fuse panel. I did this, but even when done, the car won't start. But I did hear the fuel pump running. I think, if I understand the DME relay function enough, that if any of the three grounds at the DME relay (the smaller blades on the relay) are not good then the DME relay wouldn't perform its full function and the car wouldn't start.
The DME relay is good, I have three functional DME relays and I've tested all of them with the same result.
So keeping in mind that this all started when I removed the DME itself and changed the chip, I think a ground was disturbed 'somehow' during that process. I am just not sure 'where' or 'how'.
does that make any sense?
