The fuel pump seems to be pumping good pressure.Where exactly would I find the relay and how do I check injector pulse?

Disregard the fuel pump relay and check and test the circuit opening relay, for the injectors look for power on the injector harness one of them should have power and also use a noid lite.

1989 b2600i 4x4 manual trans. No spark at coil. See prev question and answers from January this yr. Well... I've tried everything short of hiring a voodoo priest. Is it possible that a bad or going bad fuel pump could kill spark at the coil? Thanks!

Sounds like the ignition coil or fuel pump problem. Check these links

Sounds more like a power wire part shorting to earth and causing the module to over heat, check the wiring first.

Just FYI, 91 Mazda B2600i. Randomly dies, no spark. Sits 10-20min starts up and runs again. Distributor pickup is very common and was the problem. Its the hall or optical sensor in the distributor. Replaced distributor. Common on all the b- series 86-93. Carb models you can get just the pickup or ignitor I think it's called sometimes. Also mine had idle surge/hang at 2k, hard or no start, fuel smell, no power at all, won't Rev up much, flooding out. That was the coolant temp sensor, walker has a sensor with connector. That fixed it.
