Starts and dies?
Hey everyone, I'm just confuse how the car wasn't able to start to idle. The car would start when spraying some starting fluid to the injectors then dies out in 3 seconds? I've replaced my distributor, new cap, rotor, ign coil, and spark plugs. The car is getting spark, and i could hear the fuel pump makes a pitch sound on the tank. Could it be just the timing

Hello, my car did the same thing, I could hear the fuel pump running so I thought it was fine, but there was no fuel pressure, it WAS a BAD fuel pump. Test for Fuel Pressure with a Gauge. Good Luck

I don't have a fuel pressure tester, is there any other way to test for fuel pressure?
