OK, just went out and looked... It's behind the glove box, on the right hand side up near the top. Should be a white connector with 3 wires going into it (note that the connector has room for many more pins, but only 3 are used). Mine was tucked in on top of the wire loom, so just keep looking -- it's there <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like you were tapping on the MPI control relay? If you've got a dying control relay this could also generate the symptoms you're seeing. According to the FSM "NOTE Failure of the control relay prevents power supply to the fuel pump, injectors, engine control unit, resulting in start failure".

If you've only got a Haynes manual, you might wish to avail yourself of some the scans our Russian friends have on the recently-discussed website, specifically the "mpi-system.pdf" document <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Good luck! Let me know if there's any other info I can provide...
