noid is the name of a special resistance light that plugs into the injector harness and flashes so you can see the injector pulse. some guys use test-lights but sometimes it will burn the injector driver. it lets you know the injectors are getting their signal. no return is like what you do for a "dead head" fuel pump test to see it's max press. i would think it would flood out because of the huge pressure.

I would check your fitting going into the FPR. I know I was using a beviled fitting instead of a boss style fitting with a flat end on it, and it was pressed up against the fpr unit itself, you can see a small blue circle on the inside of the regulator where the fitting was jammed up against it. So fuel was getting to the regulator and going no where, just blocking the line. Check that first. If that is ok, remove the return line from the bottom of the regulator and turn the car to the on position to prime the system, and fuel should pour out the bottom of the regulator. Have another person help you on that, so he can yell at you when fuel starts dumping out....if it does. If not, you have a problem.



TampaFD explained a noid light, get one, and test your injectors.

Progress:



Got fuel pressure. The lines in the tank swelled and split, hence the 0 pressure. That's fixed. Now I got it to a nice even 50. It holds solid.



Pulled plugs. Wet. Not SOAKED, but wet. LOTS of grease on them from the rebuild. Installed new ones. Still no fire.



Headed back out to pull plugs to see if the injectors are actually firing.. I *think* they are, but it's not flooding like I would have imagined. At the same time, I'll be checking spark.. With any luck, I'll shoot some flames.



And just for fun... Here's a pic of the Supra. Fast **********er.
