Quick update before I crash. I did a quick walk around video that I’ll upload tomorrow.
Got the fuel pump sorted. Left the strainer alone for now.

Decided to dig into the FD. Took a little time to get it all off. Decided to leave the FI hoses attached. Flipped it up and the plunger seemed to move freely…. A good thing I guess, but I was hoping it was that so I could fix it and then the car would be running, right?
Put it all back together and the car is still doing the same thing. Key on, pump running, no start. Lift up the sensor plate and it fires right up and then dies. We tried letting it run for about 20 seconds, still no start.

One note. The yellow wire going to the starter. It was disconnected when I took ownership. When connected, the car doesn’t act differently in regards to starting. But 75% of the time, the starter will continue to crank, even after the key has been turned off.

I did order a fuel pressure gauge set. Hoping it’s here tomorrow. Hoping it can help pinpoint the issue here. Could a bad CSV or WUR be causing this no-start issue? I didn’t try disconnecting the safety switch, as mentioned above.

Kinda scratching my head, but I know I need to figure out this fuel pressure thing…
