fuel tank has about 5/8 so it has fuel. Very quiet in my driveway, quite a ways off the road. Turned the key on, and listened for the pump, nothing. Don't think it is working. Trying to locate the fuse for it, but cannot find a box under the hood, so need some help on that.

Nothing there on a '95. Owners manual shows a fuse box inside on the drivers side. It is on the side of the dash, when you open the door. I do have 3 relays under the hood. They are in the center, located on the firewall at the top. Any idea what these are for?

Three individual boxes right? Pull the covers off and see if they're labeled. 1 of them probably for the PCM. Is there a fuse access door and the passenger side of the dash?

I think you can borrow a fuel pressure test guage from Autozo <-------no longer name tossin'-- I think it installs before the TBI. I've seen the manufactorer specs somewheres in this forum.

Still won't run. However, if you take the hose off the tbi, and spray starter fluid in, it starts up. Quits after only a few moments however, so must be the fuel pump. Tried pounding on the tank to jar it, but no luck. Still unable to find any type of fuse box under the hood, don't think there is one.

OK don't do too many attempts starting it with just your ether. It'll run lean and possibly damage the cylinders.

Well, atleast the starting fluid (rarely ether now) tells you that you have air and spark.

You definitely have a fuse and a relay. Both of which I would find and check before even thinking about dropping the tank.
