The fuel pump doesn't run if the ECU doesn't see the engine turning. It's a fail safe. On the non-turbo models it's tied into a physical sensor in the air flow meter but on the GTE I believe it's dependent upon a 'valid' signal from the CPS.
Well my uncle cleaned up the cps wires and now it sparks, could it still be the cps keeping the fuel pump from kicking in? Or is it more likely that I have a bad ground somewhere that I'm overlooking?
