Sorry guys, I just realized that I hadn't updated this thread in FOREVER!
Since my last post, I've replaced the tank (yes, I went for the china-bay one, couldn't find a good used one local to me,) the sending unit, and the in-tank pump. I also grabbed a good used ZF rack off of here, new inner and outer tie rods, super-pro front control arm bushings, a set of diesel motor mounts, and a new trans mount from FCP, all of which still need to be installed. (I didn't have a lot of time to work on it over the summer, as I was in my last semester of graduate school trying to finish my dissertation, portfolio, etc).
Now that I have a bit more time, money is tight (I'm starting a private practice for counseling and it is slow-going so far, which was to be expected,) so not a lot of progress has been made.
I had some credit at my local u-pull yard from a set of wheels that I ended up returning due to a crack in one spoke, so I grabbed a few odds and ends off of the only 240 that they had, and some parts off of a 940 turbo too. Tried out the primary pump from the j/y 240, and it was a no go. (this was as of yesterday.) It seems to be more dead than my prior pump, making no noise at all when I crank it. I have verified that either my fp relays are bad, or I have a harness issue, as trying to turn the car over doesn't result in the relays energizing and making contact. Manually making the connection and cranking the car still doesn't result in it starting either, and the "new" pump is dead silent. So, more troubleshooting to be done, hopefully today. Most likely the "new" pump will be going back to the u-pull and I'll be exchanging it out for something, possibly the oil cooler off of that 940 turbo.
The 940 parts will be going up for sale here as a package later today (I have the ecu up now, but have decided to package it with the 90+ turbo manifold and factory downpipe,) to help fund a bit more work to get this car up and running.
