    I can hear fuel pump running for a few seconds when putting ignition on. Smell it too...

    Okay, do you have a second person available to crank the engine while you look for spark?

    Your photo #7 shows you have a little more than 8 volts.

    No spark

    Your resistor wiring configuration appears to be different than mine.



    I have 2 wires at the Top Right connection. The clear or white covered terminal is a piggy back with the black housing clipped to it.

    I never really looked at my volt gauge when starting the car, so I just did and mine also shows a little above what your shows. I know the battery does not drop that much so it's just something with the wiring to our gauge.

    That pretty much does says ignition is the problem. Did you also say your tach reads some RPM when cranking? That would also say the ECU is working since the tach uses the ignition coil signal as does the RPM relay to keep the fuel pump running.

    That is correct. It reads some rpm while cranking. Needle jumps a little.
