Cranks, no start -- '93 240

1993 240 Classic with EZK. No start. Smell of gas when cranking (Cranks fine). Sudden no start occurred a week ago. Code 214. Cleaned all the ground connections, twirled all the fuses, Replaced the coil, since it tested low. No continuity on the grey wires (85;86) at the main relay on the L fender when cranking. No voltage between #4 and #2 at the power amplifier, ignition on. Suspected the Crank Position Sensor (CPS). Replaced it with new CPS. Still no start. Tested the CPS cable to the ICU at its connector in the engine compartment, found #2 voltage with ignition on was 3.1 V; #3 was connected to ground, and #1, which should be 250 Ohms, was 0.5. Should I suspect a short?

I pulled the ICU connector and tested the voltage at terminal 8 (the ECU connector) -- should be 0.1V, but found 0.0 with the ignition on. Not sure what this means, if anything. Bently says check the wiring and the ECU unit. Any suggestions?

But, back to the CPS cable( it joins a lot of others and runs thru the firewall to the ICU) if it is shorted has anyone re-wired a CPS back to the ICU? If so, how did you do it?

She is still cranking fine, but after four days of trying to figure out why she won't start, I am getting desperate!
