      thanks. I checked that number 1 on my list. I carry a spare one with me. I verified gas all the way to the injectors.

    Since it actually fires up for 2 seconds.... 200

    something tells me that you have a major vaccum leak. It's almost like unplugging one of the hoses for the idle valve from the flex hose or the intake manifold. If it didn't fire up, I would make sure the 25A fuse on the driver's side fender is seated properly.

    Cheers,

      I put a brand new fuse in the engine bay . There is gas coming out of all injectors. Crank sensor maybe? Or plugged cat ?

        Could be the crank sensor. One quick way to verify the cat is to have someone start the car while you feel for airflow from the muffler tip. Not the best way, but if it is completely blocked you will feel very little air flow.

        Bentley manual outlines testing the crank sensor in detail. Try to look for crank sensor info here: http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/

          problem solved by emptying gas tank. Six gallons of diesel got there by mistake. Thank you all.
