89 GTA WONT START???
Ok, It seems the only way i can start my GTA 350TPI is with a shot of
starting fluid. Idles but seems to be doggy. If i shut the car off it wont start again unless i shoot some starting fluid in the TB. Anyone have any suggestions on a solustion?
oh yeah, I do here the fuel pump turn on
thanks

do a pressure test. it maybe just weak enough that it wont start but idle if assisted. Also check fuel filter.

Been there hthat happen, it is probably the fuel pump but I would start with the pump being that it is cheaper. Good luck

Re: 89 GTA WONT START???
on that car check the ign switch not the key lock but the switch it self my car was doing that and i changed it and boom worked like normal that switch slides to make contact to the pump and the rest of the system it can contact the rest and not the pump fully so u will get a low pressure ( like in the fail safe mode ) check that and also the wires to it
