ok , so my bird has been sitting for a looong while... (blew the tranny) , so i was thinking at work today i would get out there and show it a little love and try getting her running again... i know i never should have neglected it for over a year...but having bought a brand new car i really didnt have the money to mess with the bird.... SO! i get out there , toss the batt. charger on for a while...nuttin... run up to auto zone and pick up a new batt. turn her over and over and over nuttin , look at the injectors and they arent spitting anything out... so im like "damn" i really wanted to hear my motor , even though its stock still , i wanted to hear it...i put some gas in the throttle body , and it started , for a second..so i knowthe plugs are firing and will run if i get fuel... so where would i start? why would it stop working? should i look at an electric fuel pump? thanks for any help and info you can give me!

 

Check the 20 amp fuse on the driver side radiator support, if thats good check the fuel pump relay and all the connectors to the ignition module, if those are good, replace the module.

 

had no idea there were fuses by the radiator , i will check them as soon as i get home... How would i go about checking the fuel pump and relays? what should i do?

 

ok... so on one hand im an idiot , and on the other it still doesnt work anyway!... the part where im an idiot is i forgot there was a kill switch in the car...must have gotten hit somehow , but it seems to shut the fuel pump off cause i had the car running yesterday dumping gas from a bottle in it...And on the other hand , i flicked the switch , and the injectors started spitting , but it was only dripping out , wasnt anything near a nice cone spray... so this is what i did.. the peice above the injectors... theres like 6 torx head screws holding it on...i took that off , ruined the gasket , but i tried starting it without it on there at all.. it did run and gas did come up out the middle of it.... so i took the rest of the gasket off , put it back on cause now i gotta go to the store to buy a new one tomorrow , so i tried starting it with that on but without the gasket , and while it did leak all over the place the car did run on its own... but the gas still was just dripping out of the injectors,,... any ideas please??

 

Sounds like im haveing the same problem as you. Where is this kill switch by the way.

 

in my car its on the kick panel on the drivers side , i dunno why its there , or who put it there , whoever owned the car before i did had it put in.
