Currently trying to get my 1992 RS (still have the 305) started, have spark and she's turning over but she won't start.

Does anyone have some basic trouble shooting that they would recommend? I assume she isn't getting fuel. Is there any form of fuel cut-off that might have been triggered when I had her towed?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

turn the key on and get down on ur belly by the tank and see if the fuel pump is turning on... if u cannot hear it ... give the tank a tap the flat side on a hammer

 

Will give that a shot thanks

 

The fuel pump is supposed to run for TWO SECONDS when the key is first turned on.

Therefore you cannot turn the key on, run back to the tank, and think you're going to hear the fuel pump.

1. Do the injectors spray fuel when the engine is cranking?

2. If no injector spray, will the engine start if you spray aerosol carb cleaner into the throttle body? Even a splash of gasoline might work.

3. Buy or borrow a fuel pressure gauge and adapter, and tell us how much fuel pressure you have?

 

yes you will need a partner to turn the key for you.
