No spark, & no fuel prime. EEC relay clicks, fuel pump relay does not. 12 volts constant at the yellow wire of pump relay, 12 volts at the Red with key on... no continuity from Tan & green wire from relay to EEC, so I ran a new one. Still nothing. Checking power at the EEC connector, I have no power at the red wire, but do have power coming from the blue wires (key on)... Does anybody have a diagram for the wire harness for the EEC? Also- is there something I'm missing, like a bad connector or something?

Yeah- All of that checked out. Didn't have continuity to EEC through ground, ran a new one.... Not getting power to EEC via red wire, yet there's power coming into EEC via LtBlue/pink(?) wire (key on)... CEL does come on. Shouldn't there be power coming to EEC via Red wire? (Grounds fromm EEC checked out.)

Yes, have voltage at inertia... I'm thinking EEC may be shot... If I ground the Tan/LtGreen wire & turn the key on, the pump kicks on...
