Off to tinker on the dead (sleeping?) Monty...and bringing my laptop so I can steal my work's wifi and have you guys looking over my shoulder.

FastEddy: Thanks so much for the detailed explanation...and for the "can of worms" warning.

Grass13: Will check all grounds around the coil. I feel like ecu is ok, since I have spark, no fishy smell, and testing ecu codes using a 12v light bulb yields the repeating short pulse pattern which is the "a-ok" signal.

Really don't want to have to take that fuel pump out now. You guys are scaring me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />
