I finally got my 740 Turbo to start on starting fluid, so my no-start issue is for sure related to lack of fuel. After removing more duct tape (the PO really like it...) I discovered that the wires on the ballast resistor aren't connected. After a rudimentary "repair," I hear the fuel pump engaging after cranking, but the wires still aren't able to make full contact.
Now I'm not 100% sure that's the issue, but I'm 98% on it due to the fact that I wasn't able to get a good connection between the wires and the resistor.
I noticed that LH 2.4 cars do not have this resistor, and unfortunately all of the 740s at my local Pull a Part are N/A. I'd like to be able to get it there, but if not I'll just order one on eBay. But before I do that, what other cars have this resistor? They have a few 940s and possibly some 240s, so if those cars have this resistor, that would be great.
Until then, is there any way I can bypass the resistor?
