Its not going to be the neutral safety switch. That keeps it from cranking when the trans is in gear. Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn on the ignition? Should hear it for about 2 seconds. Check for fuel pressure. If you think its a fuel problem or injector problem, try squirting some starting fluid in the throttle body to see if it starts up.

Check that you have spark not just the starter is turning over.

Re: Please help! 92 GTA mystery

buy a noid light the helms manual and a spark checker

telling us you dont know if the injectors are getting pulse without spending the 8 bucks for the niod light is wrong

you know what put the computer next to your car and well fix it for you

Re: Please help! 92 GTA mystery

Here, try this. Get someone to help you. Take a sparkplug out before starting the car. With the plug still plugged into the wire, hold the plug the exhaust manifold or another ground and start the car. If it sparks, you have spark, if it doesn't, then you need to check your coil and wires. Everyone else on the thread is right about the fuel. When you turn the key on, you should hear the fuel pump prime up. If the pump primes and the car still doesn't start, put the plug back in and crank the car over a few times. Pull the plug out. If its wet and smells like gas, you are getting fuel. And yes, as jamon8 said, spending a couple bucks on some diagnostic tools would help, both us and you. Good luck.
