so.... it still doesn't start...

-pumps are running and there's spark
-no fuel coming out of injectors, take the injectors off and there's a little fuel at the lines but probably NOT enough
-I've tested the delivery at the return line and its very weak (nowhere near a liter in 30 secs.), but am curious how this should compare to delivery before it goes through the fuel distributor
-all in all, it just seems like theres not enough gas going through (i know it needs like 74 psi) but, not convinced pump is dead yet
-cleaned the plunger in fuel distributor and all the internals look good and clean
-got new injectors

the only thing I can think of now is that one of the pumps is working, but not well enough, or something is fouled in the distributor line adjustment

-i know to test pressures all around, but i wanted to start with the pumps

does the pump get weaker and weaker? or will it just die?

any help is much appreciated!
