Query:

Do you hear a short buzz of the fuel pump when you first turn the key from off to on?

The principle behind the L-jet and the way it turns on the fuel boils down to the coil needing to be active which sends a signal to a tachymetric relay under the rear cargo panel, which in turn activates the pumps as well as supplying power to the injectors and the ECU controls the injectors by operating thier ground circut. So on a very basic level, without spark, you won't get fuel.

Click the link in my sig for a great deal of information specific to the L-jet spiders.
In short he needs a stronger battery, right?
