Another thing you can do is check the relay which is on the left side rear of the passenger seat. It is an aluminum cube, plugs into a plastic socket, and is clipped maybe onto the seat rail. Not the larger rectangular silver box I mistakenly posted a picture of. Slide the passener seat all the way forward (or back) so you can see the big "ECU" box.

When you turn the key to run, this relay should activate. You might be able to hear the click it makes, and should, if you have your fingers on it when you turn the key on, feel it click. If it doesn't, you may not be getting power to any of the electronics (other than the CSV and WUR and maybe AAV) back there. The relay can go bad. Of course, you can take your wiring diagram, see what wires go to the relay, what they do, and with a volt meter easily check to see if you are getting 12V to he relay, and 12V out of it with the key on.

When I ran my -82 engine without any of the electronic stuff in the car, it was hard to start. Hooking up the electronics even without an oxygen sensor cured that right away. Which is why guys are stressing being sure the FV is working.
