first thing to check is for spark and fuel and work from there.

Checking for spark is easy, any advise on how to check for fuel flow?
thanks for the quick response.

How old is your DME relay? Do you have a spare? I would try swaping in a known good one and see if that cures your no start.

This is getting fun, what is a DME relay and where is it?

It's located under the drivers seat, it plugs into the DME. I don't know exactly what it does, but I know if it's bad it won't start. Jerry Woods told a story of one that had a problem, and would only allow intermitant starting, that's why I suggest that. About $30 from Pelican.

If you don't have it already, I would suggest getting the Bentley repair manual. And you should always carry a spare dme relay.

Matt, thanks alot I'm going to call pellican right now.

Matt, Thanks for your help. Installed a new DME and it started right up.
The Bentley Manual was very helpful.
