- At the fuel pump, I've got clean connections but no power with the ignition
on.

Dan,

The fuel pump won't run on a Bosch L-Jet car until the air flow meter
senses air movement through the induction path.  To fool it you need to
open the air cleaner and, using something like a long screwdriver, open
the air flap slightly.  Then, with the ignition on, you should get power
to the pump.

Someone once told me that L-Jet Spiders don't work that way, and instead rely on the ECU to switch the fuel pump (via relay, obviously) based on whether or not the engine is rotating.
