Hah! that one takes me back, always loosing my gramps tools also. Guess it wasent just me!

well damn. that eliminates spark, fuel, and compression..
how about proper timing ( the engine valves should open and close in appropriate time.)
Thats all of my "simple" ideas. gonna have to go back and re evaluate other issues instead of throwing out more ideas and moving off track.
Problem with engine electronics. crank sensor, cam sensor, air flow sensor, power relay, engine computer
Ignition system problems ignition coil, commutator,distributor cap, etc.
let us know on the injectors. good luck, oh and stay warm.
The timing idea is just something outa left field I wouldent even waste time with it. but could be a possibility. I would do the electrical tests again before moving into "left field" so to speak.

the 1 click sound is the clue were looking for perhaps? Run your hand across the relay and see if you can "feel" the clicks. Cause i only hear one also. hah

oh and for the compression check just to eliminate it, the car wont start if below 70-80 psi.

read this too for electric troubleshooting. http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/htm/spark.htm
