Got to find an kill the electrical gremlins!
No power to factory pump leads.
Fuel tank is too different for me to use effectively so I've cleaned out the old one.
Ah.....the joys of antique ownership.

Interesting, I will check on that.
Home PC is screwing up and I'm having trouble finding a wiring diagram I can actually read. The chiltons has really small diagrams, I can't even read them with a magnifying glass.
I have a Toyota manual of just the wiring if you need it.
I may need to check that out.
I did find a way to check the fuel pump by just sticking a screw driver in it..... I mean the afm.
Thanks Gumby!

Excellent. My old bug was like that. If the flap moved by whatever means it would trigger the fuel pump.
My 80 1fzfe in the LV wouldn't start because I put the Afm in backwards. It's a hot wire meter, but it needed to see air flow to turn the pump on.

My old 4runner was the same. There is a jumper you can install in the test plug to check the fuel pump circuit, and bypass the AFM.
I just left the jumper in...you just have to remember not to leave the car "on" without it running.
There is a timing circuit that you are bypassing by installing the jumper. It normally allows the fuel pump to stay on for a short time with AFM closed. Then once the motor starts the AFM kicks in, and the pump stays on.

that sounds right. Its not enough time for you to cycle the key and then get under it and check for power, but if you had stanley cycle the key for you while you had the test light hooked up, you could see if its working.
Paper clip is the technical term?
Got Stanley to help, we have power captain!

YAY!!!
Update: mini has no compression. I'm not sure exactly which direction it will go until I can get the motor tore down for possible rebuild.
