If you have read my previous posts let me update. The car died suddenly, won't catch on, sparks across #1 plug wire, and crank and cam turn fine. Bought a new Fuel Pump Relay but it didn't solve the problem. Distributor is off the cam.

Previous advice was to also check, and swap, the RSR and the A/C Fan relays. Apparently they are similar enough to replace one another in a pinch. I thought I did that, and ruled out another relay failure....BUT turns out I did not. I assumed (don't go there...) that the only two relays behind the fuse block that looked similar must be those two, so in retrospect, I switched the central locking relay with the window relay and guess what? It still won't start. Now I realize: they are elsewhere.

The 740 Haynes book I have is useless. It sounds like they are somewhere in the engine compartment. The car is parked in a lot 30 miles away from here. I want to fix it and get it home.

I tried starting fluid in the air intake and the car sputters and seems to want to catch on when I pump the acclerator pedal (old habit). I was about to change the timing belt (it's overdue) and wonder if it might have jumped a tooth. I figure I can pull the upper timing cover and compare the marks on the belt and the cam gear with the crank at zero.

I ordered a new fuel pump (Regina), fuel pressure regulator, and an RSR/A/C relay, and fuel filter for Saturday delivery. I have them now. I am not excited about the prospect of changing these parts thirty miles from home. I am just about ready to give up and get it towed.

(Sniff! Whimper! The shame and embarassment I will bring upon my family.....)

Where are the AC Fan and RSR relays located? Once I find them and switch out I think that will determine my next step. Please, any suggestions?
