Having a hard time getting gas into the fuel injection unit. Float might be a little stuck.

The brown substance that used to be gas is now more like a cross between Molasses and silly putty.

Pulled the FI unit off the car to work on it. Here is the fuel distribution spider on the underside.

Pulled the high pressure pump out of the float bowl. It is built like a oil pump and was stuck from all the gunk. It is driven by a cable from the distributor.

The drive cable is broken and I probably did it when I tried to start it. I think I have a spare somewhere in my toolbox though.

They will darn sure snap the cable if the pump is locked up. You can have a cable made at a spedo shop in a pinch to get you home. (Guess How I knew that)

Figured out the Fuel Injection. I did what all the experts did back in the day when they had FI problems.
