OK, this suggests that the fuel pump circuit is not a problem.al_kaholik wrote: The pump does not run with the ignition in the first position, but does when cranking.
ignition on pump only when the fuel pump contacts in the AFM were touching.
You are still suffering a difficult/impossible start, where the engine will fire briefly but stall when you release the key, right? Please perform this crazy hack test. Get your 14 or 16 gauge roll of wire out and run a wire from the battery (+) terminal directly to the coil (+) #15 terminal. Immediately after supplying this direct voltage to the coil, start the engine. Let me know if it runs normally. Please be sensible, do not allow this hot wire to short or do anything embarrassing.
