Re[2]: Type III won't start

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

I'm assuming the starter works and is turning the engine, it's just that 
she's not burning fuel.

Fuel in tank?  Gas dry (no water in it)?  All fuel lines connected?  Fuel 
pump getting power?  Fuel pump even working?  Fuel filter not dirty?  Power 
to FI unit?  Power to injectors?  Ignition is producing spark?  Distributor 
properly working (check points, rotor, spark plug wiring)?  All fuses not 
blown?  Air intake system not plugged up somehow?

Several years ago the contacts in my ignition switch that feed power to the 
coil fried so I had to run a switched wire from the fuse box to the coil.  
Maybe the coil isn't getting power.

Kinda a lot to check, huh?  Muir's book can help in the trouble shooting 
department.
