I recently experienced a problem starting my 1990 alfa quad. The starter cranked OK but the car wouldn't start. so either no spark or no fuel, right? I checked that I was getting spark with a timing light and when I disconnected the fuel line from the injector manifold and cranked it no fuel came out. I could hear that the fuek pump relay was working when starting (clicks on) and the fuse was OK so I decided to change both pumps and filters. Even with new pumps it still wouldn't start. Then I finally checked the voltage at the fuel pumps - only 0.07V when cranking - at both pumps. The battery is fine - there was plenty of amperage to turn over and I even tried jumping it for extra amps but still no luck. I haven't traced out all of the wiring but it is all as new (original owner -33k miles). This problem came up all of a sudden. One week it ran fine the next it wouldn't start. Does anyone have any suggestions?
