Fuel pump primes but how do I know for sure it works? Car just cranks, it has spark and the fuel pump sounds good...what else can I do?

 

My best guess without more information is that the ignition module is bad, plus it is the easiest thing to check most auto parts stores can do that.

 

Hook up a fuel pressure guage to it and make sure you are getting fuel.

 

unplug tps and see if it starts...if shorted sytem is in clear flood ...no pulse....does it have vats?

 

Gonna try that and no VATS BTW...also I may still not be getting fuel even though the pump primes right??? thanks for helping.

 

Check fuel pressure. Ohm out your injectors as well. Just this past week 2 of my old injectors ohm'd out at <10 ohms, needless to say the car would only start using starter fluid. Purchased a new set of injectors and problem solved she fires right up.

Also a tip. If you ohm out one of your injectors and it is reading real low (less than 12), unhook it and then try to start the car. If the injector was indeed your problem the car will now fire right up.

 

Hey, I disconnected the injectors one by one and cranked it, still no start. It has spark and the fuel shoots when I push the test valve while cranking. Nothing still...

 

What was the ohm reading on each injector?

 

Hi, I didn't check the ohm readings, I just disconnected them one by one and cranked it...no start..is is safe to say that my fuel pump is good since it primes and I have fuel shooting out..?

 

Your car is not producing an injector pulse, check the plugs on the back of the distributor, if they are good and tight then change out the ignition module.
