i need to check if my engines gettin fuel to narrow down my starting trouble how exaclty do i do this?

 

Take off the air cleaner, then try and start the engine and check to see if the throttle body is pumping out fuel.

 

k checked n no fuel!! what do i do now? how do i check fuel pump? or elecrtical to the injectors?

 

When you turn the ignition on with the car off do you hear the fuel pump prime. You should hear a whine/humming sound around the fuel tank. GM fuel pumps are junk and I wouldn't be suprised if yours is shot.

 

also is there a adapter thing already in my fuel lines where i can hook up a fuel pressure tester? if so where?

 

Autozone should be able to rent you one. If they don't have one for rent I believe the tester is like $20.

You could also plumb in a summit fuel pressure gage for less than $30.

 

Read my post in this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=295251

It talks both options Shifty mentioned.

 

ok i have everything fuel,spark, n the starter works....BUT IT WONT START! it trys to and i even got it to run for a second but once RPMs it 2500 its shut off..WHAT IS GOING ON? my friend said camshaft sensor or somthin...clogged fuel filter? any thoiughts

 

Are you sure you have enough fuel? What was the pressure? A ddying pump can't produce 3 to 4 psi of visable fuel when you car needs 7+ to at least start. I would change the fuel filter anyways since it it routine maintenance.

 

k new fuel filter in and while the line was off we turned the fuel pump on and it shot fuel out so im thinkin tahts good. but where else to cehck? how can i tell if my injectors are good or if my coil is bad?

 

Just because you see fuel doesn;t mean it is enough. You need to check the feed line pressure. 4psi will spurt all over you and be seen through the injectors but will not be enough to start your motor.

 

ok how do u test the injectors or make sure there fireing like there suppose to?? i can start the engine with some spray engine starter but i dont think fuel or enough fuel is getting to it.

 

Go to autozone and buy/rent a feed line fuel pressure tester or install an in-line gage. That is the only way to know for sure what is getting to your TBI unit. I am starting to sound like a broken record.
