take it somewere or check the fuel pressure yourself.

also, check for the injector pulses ( GM noid light works, available at most stores)

you need to know that you are running the right pressure and do as 240kid says get one of those GM noid lights from autozone[$6.99] and check for injector pulse while cranking. if its not pulsing the ecm is not grounding it or they do not have power you will need to check for poower with a voltmeter on the larger of the 2 wires going to the injector. if power is present but the ecm is not pulsing it the ecm might not be recieveing a signal from the crank angle sensor in the distrbutor. But you need to know the fuel is getting into the cyl. try starting it holding the throttle to the floor and see what happens if its getting to much fuel it wont fire either by holding it to the floor you are letting more air in to lean up the mixture and after some cranking it would fire.

new distributer. mY fiero had the exact same problem, changed fuel injectors, didnt work, got a new distrubiter, it started beautifully. of course, now the transmission is only stuck in 3rd and 4th.

oh, and im not saying that your transmission will get ****ed up. definately look into a new distributer. not a distributer cap, distributer.

Well....the guy that sold me the car gave me some important news....Number 1- I dont have an Ignition module and he gave 3 reasons y its not starting...

-TEC3 does not know that the engine is cranking (due to a bad MAG sensor)-TEC3 knows that the engine is cranking, but it (the TEC3 computer) is not making the injectors spray fuel-TEC3 knows that the engine is cranking, but it (the TEC3 computer) is not making the ignition coils fire The TEC3 will tell you exactly what the problem is by plugging a laptop to it. A TEC3 installer/programmer would be able to tell you what the problem is by using a laptop.

So my car will be fixed soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
