Ok now what is the FUEL PRESSURE and do you have injector pulse. What is the static Timing and is it correct?? NOID light test for pulse. Does it start at all?? If not check and make sure IT RUN SPUTTER OR WHATEVER. post back. Fuel pressure measurements are mandatory along with capacity. Post back with all info and symptoms. Thanks

update guys the car isnt getting fire, as I said before I changed the distributor out which included the ignition control module, any other ideas changed coils out also. Is there a ignition relay or something?

Not getting fire means NO SPARK LAST TIME I CHECKED. Is this what you mean???

TOTALLY CONFUSED HOW DID YOU GO FROM NO SPARK TO HAVING SPARK???

A SPLIT IN TANK LINE WILL CAUSE LOW FUEL PRESSURE AND A NO START CONDITION WHAT IS THE FUEL PRESSURE???

Harbor freight has a fuel pressure tester for about $20. It is possible for the fuel pressure regulatorregulator to fail and dump all of the gas back into the return line and not let much out to the engine.

Like tom has been saying, test the pressure when you can find a way to do it.

Yes Tom it either didn't have spark or it was a very light spark I chan the distributor back out and put a different rotor cap on I then I was getting spark at the spark plug, took it out and grounded it on the shock tower.

I'm gonna round a fuel pressure gauge up if it today if changing this line doesn't do any better.

It will start and run after you prime the pump a few times but very rough idle and it does register to the gas pedal (pushing pedal does nothing for the engin it's like your not pushing it) so I didn't let it run long as stated before.

I'm very confused at this car also like I said I've never had this type of problem which I guess it the reason I do t have all the tools or equipment that I need to test

Now that you have spark and the engine starts, codes will help, if its a sensor issue. You can pull codes with a paperclip and a test light or buttstuffog volt meter. A key on engine off would give you codes stored in memory, and if you can get it to do an engine cylinder ballance test, it will tell you if you have a problem with fuel.

I'd still check fuel pressure when you can get around to it, and quit throwing money at it until you id your problem!

Ok guys just check while the car is running it has around 40 psi fuel pressure but runs like it isn't getting enough fuel mashing the pedal does nothing for the car but make it shut off

It seems to spin over fast almost like its 180 degrees out of time but its not I checked it today.

You did pull the SPOUT connector out before timing it, right????

Are you sure the plug wires are on the dizy correct I wasn't thinking one time and ran the motor up on TDC, stabbed the dizzy and proceeded to land the wires according to firing order I just wasn't thinking and and went clock wise around the dizzy instead of counter clock wise. The motor actually did start (ran horribly) lol

Wait a min you swapped in your HO did you change computers? Your old motor would have had a different firing order as well as injector pulse?

Yea it has a da1 and it hasn't ran good enough to set timin I'm going to change the plug they had gas all over them and see what happens with it. And yes the plug wires are on correct

Fuel pressure regulator. Change it, and let us know what results are.
