If you jump the pins in the fuel pump relay socket (do the tests in the bentley) does the pump turn on? Have you tested your CPS?

[wasickaa]

Wes I tested the relays main and pump can manually turn on fuel pump with relay buy even while doing that it doesn't get spark. Somebody suggested my timing belt might have worn the ribs off of the belt, thoughts on that? Or is it my motronic computer

No spark and no fuel pump when cranking means:

The DME isn't receiving timing data
The DME isn't powered up or has a bad ground
The DME isn't getting a Start signal
The DME is bad

[wasickaa]

What u mean by DME?

[jc72]

he means ecu, but I would check the resistance on your speed and reference (crankshaft position) sensor first. If its not getting that you won't get spark or injector pulse.
