well if your not hearing the pump then either it's bad, or your main fuel relay is bad.

I'm not sure if you looked up the codes for that ECU but 1 long and 6 short, thats fuel injector. So maybe clogged injectors or just plain bad injectors, or injector.

check your spark. take a plug out and put it in the wire and ground it to sumthing and then try to start again and see if they spark. if they do then thats one good sign. then track down the fuel problem. but def check the spark first. once you know you got light then you can figure out what the deal is. try startin fluid. i know its bad for the motor but if it starts with that then you know its fuel relateed.

check dizzy, and TIMING... look at the cam sprockets make sure they are set correctly... if they are off by a tooth or two, the car wont start.

that code that you gave us is fuel injectors. now, with that, change the fuel injectors. but before you do that, check if you actually have spark like the guy who stated before me. if your not sure how to, just take out one of the spark plug wires. grab a spark plug thats just layin' around and plug it into the wire. after that, put the wire ontop of a bot on the head. then have someone start up the car. you should be able to see spark. if not, you got a to firgure out what could be wrong with the dizzy. once thats fixed and you still see spark but no start up, buy or find some used injectors that work. then hopefully, you should be fine. and yes, it could also be your timing thats off. but even with a bad timing, your car would still run but shitty. get at us and tell us whats the deal.
