Just got the car started! I didn't realize that jumping the fuel pump relay bypasses the immobilizer. That makes a lot of sense now and got me thinking about what else could be cutting power to the fuel pump. Not much else in that equation so I went back over the basics again. I first checked for voltage at the fuel pump relay and confirmed that I did not see any voltage when cranking the car. Next down the line would be the fuse box so I looked at the fuse box again and went to pull the fuel pump fuse, a 25 amp fuse in position C4. I was shocked when I looked and it was completely missing! DOH! I did pull all the fuses about a week ago in a fit of desperation so perhaps I walked away with it to check for continuity or something and put it down somewhere? I have no idea where it went as its nowhere to be found in the car (apparently cannabis can effect the memory.) And that doesn't explain why it wasn't starting before I pulled the fuses. Perhaps the original CPS was bad as well? I tested the old fuel pump and it seems fine so my money is on that CPS. I guess I could put it back in the car to see if goes back to crank no start but at this point I'm very glad to have the car running. I have a car friend arriving tomorrow for a visit from across the country and the weather is perfect for some mountain and costal road carving with the top down. I was really worried that he was going to miss the opportunity to experience this amazing car that I've really been enjoying for the past few years. Thank you very much for the prompt responses, JFP. I couldn't have done it without your added info and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
