Ok
my brain won... figured I wont know if the injector pump is working if I don't crack the lines.

When I cracked the lines and cranked, I got dribbles instead of spray's of fuel.

What does this mean?

The mechanic that the car was initialy taken to said the injector pump was bad. I am about to come full circle on my volvo experience and agree with their conclusion.

I've still got the car on charge and will try again tommorrow when it's not raining and the battery is fully charged.

On another note, put a test light on the glow plugs and there is power to them for as long as I choose to leave the key at the glowplug position. It will go off after cranking though. I KNOW I'm going to have glowplug issues too, but I would like to get the car started first.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
