(race) car won't start

Hi Carl,
thanks for the insight. I stopped listing symptoms because I didn't want to overwhelm any potential helpers. Yes, our starter works. Cranks with the key appropriately, just no spark and I believe no fuel pump either. Circuit-opening relay requires oil pressure to fire the fuel pump (it might be running and I just can't hear it, but I think that is a few steps ahead of where we're at in the diagnosis). My new ECU should be here today, but I can't find time to install it until next week. Track event in my supercharged Miata this weekend...big fun.
Did you post any video or photos of your Lemons Supra on the internet?
If there's any more info I can give you to help me, let me know.
Thanks, Paul
