I can look and see what that 2 wire plug is. In the mean time... Go through the basics.

Even if it is with the bypass wire connected, make sure you have fuel pressure. Further more, hit up a parts store and get a Bosch style noide light. This plugs into the injector and will light up when and if you are getting a signal from the ecu. If you have pressure and the injectors are getting a fire signal.

Verify that you have a "good" amount of spark. You can get a adjustable spark voltage tester as well from the parts store. With this, on a EFI system, you should be able to get 30,000-40,000 volts pretty easily. Also, as simple and stupid as it is.

Make sure the battery is at a solid voltage of 12.5 or higher. 10-11 volts will make a big difference in the coil and fuel pump. Then you add the increased load of the starter and you could be in for some trouble.

Now, if every thing you have done so far shows to be good, then there may be a mechanical issue. This does not instantly mean there is an engine failure. Just that maybe cam/distributor timing is off, low compression, flooded cylinders, etc....

When you break it down into a flow chart it will make things easier. Remember, Suck, Squish, Bang, Blow is all a motor is doing in order to run. It only needs Air, Fuel, Compression, and Spark.

I really hopes this will assist you in getting your rig running.
