Ok, got it home. I did try the ether and it does try to start after spraying it in the intake. I had my brother try to listen for the fuel pump while I turned the ignition to on and he could not hear it engaging. Soo, does anyone know if this is normal? Real quiet fuel pump on these maybe? Usually its a sure sign if you cant hear it, but I cant recall hearing it in the past either.

Thats about all I was able to do before getting it towed to the house, and I have to work 24 hours tomorrow, so its research time at work, then I can hit it hard first thing tuesday morning.

I know it was suggested that the fuel regulator might be the cause, but could/would it suddenly kill the engine, so fast as if I'd turned the key off? No sputtering or nothing. Although I have my doubts that the fuel pump would kill it so suddenly also, seems like it would sputter at least a little bit as the pressure was dropped. Any ideas? The good news is they are both easy to check and I have a fuel pressure guage, so I'll start on that tuesday morning.
