You can unplug the AMM and get it into limp home mode. It would start but run rough, at least my 86 runs rough as all get out when unplugged. But it will start.

Might I suggest you get some starter fluid and pull one of the two vacuum lines off the top side of the throttle body and give it a couple of good shots. Then see if that will start the car up for a couple of seconds. That would point to fuel as the source of the no start even if you hear the pumps running. If the pick up pump was not pulling up enough fuel the main pump will run but you still get no gas to the injectors. Going to sound simple and you may have already checked it, did you check the fuse on the rear pickup pump (#4 I think).

Just an easy check before you start popping ECU and other components in and out.

Good Luck,

Paul
