88 formula tpi, no start

Fuel pressure while turning ignition on Jumps to 50psi, then drops to zero when I hear the click. It will start after putting throttle to floor for 10 seconds or so, then dies. Starting fluid does nothing.... need ideas as to the problem.

Your in clear flood mode, leaking fpr or injectors.

Starting fluid does nothing because the plugs are fuel saturated.

I just took out my accel injectors because of a no start, put stocks back in and lasted a week.

If you don’t have fuel in the fpr vacuum line. I’d suspect a injector or two are leaking.
