Got fuel and spark.....car won't start
305 TPI
went to a cruise last Wednesday got in to leave and it wouldnt start. Car turns over and over not even trying to start. Now the confusion begins!
Here is what I've checked so far:
Got spark at coil and plug
Fuel Pump is engaging
Fuel pressure is up
No codes being thrown except 12 which means ECM is working
New injectors put on last year
Any help would be appreciated

Re: Got fuel and spark.....car won't start
Try spraying some carb cleaner down thru the intake and see if it fires up...if it does then your lacking fuel. Did you check your oil for gas to make sure you dont have a stuck injector flooding out the motor?

put some gas on a rag. remove the air cleaner tube to the throttle body. hold the soaked rag in fron of the intake WITHOUT LETTING IT GO and see if it starts.

Re: Got fuel and spark.....car won't start
just went out to the gargage and sprayed carb cleaner through the intake and the car fired right up. Throttle was a little hesitant at the start. Took it for a ride up the street and seemed to clear up. I turned the car off and started it multiple times without any problems. I am leaning towards the injectors not delivering enough fuel during ignition. My brother and I are going to check them in a little.
Thanks for everyones help.

Turned out to be the TPS. After the car was running, I checked for a code. Got a code 21.
THANKS AGAIN!
