What do you mean "Starts spitting fuel"? Are you sure the fuel pump is operating? You should be able to hear it "hum" when you put your key in the second position before you start it.

It's definitely a fuel delivery problem.

Need more input though.

yes i definetely hear a hum so i think the fuel pump is fine, but alot of fuel dumps on the top on the two butterfly valves that open when you start the car and it makes a hissing noise like air is coming out thats loud, and when i started it another time and the fuel wasnt sprayying as much and the noise was not there.

Check your vacuum lines around the TBI unit, you need to hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel inlet line to the TBI unit and measure your fuel pressure.

Re: New Problem

Ok here's where we are at. No fuel pump signal to the relay while starting. 10.8v between the orange and gray wires on the FP relay connector when ignition switch is in the on or off position but no start. If I jump gray wire at connector with known good 12v supply the FP runs and car starts. When I measure volts between Orange and gray wire with the car running I get 12v. Disconnected the OPSU, 3 wire, red,yellow,black, and tried to start. Nothing. Jumped and measured voltage at red and black wires at OPSU (2.4v) and nothing. Relay is good. FP fuse is good. Where should I look next? Seems like I am not getting a signal to prime the FP.

Re: THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM!! ANY ADVICE??

When my TBI wouldn't do the 2 second prime and wouldn't start, it ended up being the 10 gauge wire that's incorporated into the positive battery cable. It had corroded. That wire powers the whole fuel pump circuit. I crimped an eyelet on the end and hooked it back up to the positive terminal and it fixed the problem. Might not be your problem, but it's an easy thing to check.
