Default No Fuel Pressure

We had fuel pressure yesterday. Timed the car, put everything back together and now have no fuel pressure. Car wants to start, but no gas. Tested at the engine, no pressure. Security light is solidm so we don't think it is security.

Can someone please post core test procedure? What are we looking for?

My best guess at the moment is that there is a plug that has come apart some where along the line stemming from having to go back in and change the cam pieces. I am going to guess that some of those plugs have been damaged because the plastic is brittle and may be a bit ifffy. I have a lot of problems with that on my cars after they get about 10 years old. That and some of these dang plugs actually take a rocket scientist to figure out how to unplug them or I am just simply dense. Do you have anything thing that shows electrical hook up? And what is a Core Test procedure? I have some data but that name is not familiar to me.

when you turn the key to ON (not to START) do you hear the hum from the fuel pump relay for about three seconds coming from the dash junction block?

If not, check fuel pump fuse first, then confirm relay

Then we'll start with the fun stuff

Default No Fuel Pressure

Well THAT was fun! After checking as you suggested, discovered bad gas, some kind of gel in the fuel filter. After removing the fuel tank, replacing the filter, etc, the schrader valve now shoots fuel about half way up the windshield !

Car still will not start, but we are much closer! (See new post)

Thanks to everyone !
