Al,
I have two sets of injectors, but didn't install switches to turn them off.
I do have a separate circuit breaker, so I can try that.
I haven't checked the fuel pressure, but I will do that.  I have a pressure
sender on the fuel system, but no gauge in the cockpit (out of panel space).
I can check it from the engine compartment though.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Steve

That should verify if my turbo is failing, and
restricting air flow.

The amount of air flow required for starting is rather low.  If it runs at
any significant rpm when it does start, seems like it ought to start OK.  Do
you have two sets of injectors, and have you tried switching off one set?
Maybe an injector not closing.  Is the fuel pressure normal?
