Fuel pump activated. tried the car and it fired right up. 4 times and fired up every time. Wife says "Huh, bad relay". One of the first thing I did was replace the relay but it couldn't hurt, right. Replaced the relay and 3-4 more tries, no issue. We'll see how it goes when we try again tomorrow. BTW, I did test the relay I removed and it activated when I put voltage to the coil.
Called it. glad it was just that. Then again having a having a bad CPS may lengthen starting but not prevent you do drive. CAS is a must.

Best DIY testing method is starting with the cheapest issues first. If it doesn't help keep working at it.
