thanks for the reply.i forgot to mention the engine is a non v-tech,it has the tec external coil.i pulled the relay yesterday and re-soldered the pins.car is still not starting at all just sputtering.i checked for spark while this was happening and i had spark but- it could be weak.plugs were fouled with gas so i removed them and let it air out overnight.i put a set of new ngk's in yesterday.i did ohm test the injectors and they were ok.i 'm waiting on a used TD76U dist.to come in the mail.i'm hoping that its the ignitor.
