Yep, I'm with Taylor on this one.

When the ECU goes out, a lot of time it gives no warning and just stops working all of a sudden. When mine went out last year, the coupe drove fine all the way to Mellow Mushroom. When we went to leave a few hours later, it just wouldn't start. Fuel pump primed, fuel pressure was normal, coil was good, MSD was working, etc. I finally got a used ECU from Lee and it fired right up.

What you are describing is exactly what I went through. I even made the same "no fuel smell" observation that you did. The bottom line is, the ECU get's taken out and is not telling the injectors to fire at all.

I would tens to rule out a broken wire because that would normally cause an erratic condition at first and usually gives some warning before it just stops working.

The injector drivers are "onboard" the computer and most likely the problem. Autoparts stores have them and I think they are refurbs... so maybe they take the broken ones as cores?

I was thinking that as well Brian, I sat down a few nights ago and pulled the harness out to check for broken wires and found none. I was to the point of just buying a new ecu or finding one to try. Thanks Guys
