Won't start even with new plugs!

Okay, I know what's wrong now I just need to fix it. It only has 5-10 psi fuel pressure with the pump running! I expect something came undone with the regulator. I'm removing the tank today to check it out.

Good luck!

I'm having similar problems, how did you gauge the fuel pressure with pump running?

 

[DaySleeper]

I stuck a 0-100 psi gauge I had from servicing freon onto a hose and attached it to the fuel pump outlet under the tank.

My problem is fixed! The fuel pressure regulator basically popped off the pump. The only thing holding it on is a cheesy plastic clip. Now it has a tie wrap on it too.

Thanks for your support!

See if you can unplug one of the injector plugs and hot wire a 9 volt battery to listen for injector clicks. If its clicking the injectors are working. If not, look into the magnetic pick up that triggers the ignition, sometimes sporadic running condition can come from the crank angle sensor trigger. As for your lightbulb method it will blink because injectors are not constant, it turns on and sprays when the computer tells it to hence why it blinked.
