well.... brian carlton wins...and i lose..but i lose again
got a new battery... it cranked and cranked... now it won't crank, but still have plenty of battery
had my wife turn the ignition switch on and I can hear the fuel pumps.... but it doesn't seem like its getting fuel.
i will take a look at the cap and new rotor this weekend... but it looks like it may have to go into the shop and face a 1k bill... this would be a first.. but I am about out of ideas.
.... i don't think there is such a thing as weak fuel pump. i guess i could try to put starter fluid in the intake to see if i can get it started... maybe that would be an indication.
very frustrated

Well, apparently, by some mystery that is beyond me, you have two simultaneous problems...........and you have now solved one.
You have also successfully concluded that the fuel pumps run and that fuel is probably not your issue.
This leaves spark........without it........the engine won't start. Getting it to start on ether solves nothing...........just lets the engine run for a few seconds.
Now, personally, I know very little about this engine, having owned it for less than one year, so be careful with my advice from this point forward.
But, I might take off one of the plug boots and see if I can get a good spark from the plug wire to a ground. If not, you have now proceeded toward the solution.
