Update: I wasn't able to find a helper until this morning to cycle the ignition key while I listened for the fuel pump and checked for spark.

In the meantime I wiggled/cycled/inspected various connectors for fuel and ignition system components and wiggled the fuel pump and OVP relays since they were reluctant to come out.

Upon my buddy turning the ignition on with my ear under the car I could hear the fuel pump operate for about one second, which it should. Test successful.

...pulled the #3 plug wire and attached it to a loose spark plug that I grounded to the negative battery terminal.

Upon cranking I could see spark and the engine nearly started.

...reconnected the plug wire and the engine started immediately and assumed normal fast idle.

I only drive the car a few times a month, so I'll just have to keep and eye on it and see how things turn out.

In the meantime I think I'll buy a spare fuel pump and OVP relay and keep them in the car.

Has anyone ever removed a fuel pump or OVP relay. I don't see a tab to push or any other release, but they don't seem to want to come out, and I don't want to use excessive force. What's the trick?
