Ok, I'm having a no start problem on my 3.2 Carrera. Was running fine and now just cranks but will not fire. I replaced the DME (w/ a new one) but still the same, cranks but no start. When I turn the key to ignition, I don't even get any noise of the fuel pump running. Have checked all the fuses and checked the fuel pump fuse specifically, every thing looks fine, no mouse chewed wires, no fuel leaks or gas odor.

In the quote above it mentions starting fluid sprayed into the vacuum, just exactly where do you do this in the engine compartment, anyone have a picture to show where to inject the spray?
