Want to start so bad...

I have a 76' 280z 2+2 that i can not get to fire up... Completely lost my only thoughts of the problems is the fuel injection relay or the fuel pump... only thing is that i cannot test the relay and have know means of getting it done professionally.. please help i bought this baby for a $110.00 to prove a point that i can do this and with only 43k miles im basically questioning the ratio of faulty parts list above thank you in advance

Welcome to ZDriver!

A motor needs 3 things to start:
-Proper air
-Proper fuel
-Proper spark

Does it have fuel pressure? Does it have spark?

i have spark and im not sure about the pressure but i doubt there is any...the 280 doen't start even if i run fuel almost directly to the injectors consistantly so could the fuel injection be to blame? But thank you for your help

So pull the spark plugs to see if they are wet w/ fuel. If not, then no fuel pressure... check the ecu, connection, and power wires (aka fusible links).
