Start simple

Out of gas?
Bad gas? Been siting long?
Fuel injection fuse?
fuel filter cloged?
Fuel pump relay?
Fuel pump bad?
ECU took a leap?

Have a friend spray carb cleaner into the intake as you start it it should try and start if its a lack of fuel issue.

just be careful if you have a friend spray starter fluid down the intake or throttle body. my uncle did it for me and it ended up sending a huge fire ball out of the throttle body. it singed every facial hair on him. :biglaugh:

EFI fuse? How about giving us some info to work with.

yeah, some more details would be very helpful. what makes you think you're not getting fuel?

when I had this problem I started with fuses and relays. they checked out good so I moved on to the fuel pump and that was my problem.

well here is the deal, i didn't even know about the efi fuse which was out but i am not getting spark, the security system has been by passed but i am afraid that the cranking of the motor so many time might have locked the ecu down, so what now with no spark?

no EFI fuse = no fuel pump, no ecu

I cranked my engine so many times before I got it to run and I never had a problem. Before my fuel problem, I wasn't getting spark and it was my igniter.
There are some ways to check the igniter. They are in the shop manual. I don't remember off the top of my head but if you need that info let me know.
My security system wasn't bypassed though.

If your ecu is not working, for whatever reason, you will not get spark.

Fixed ;)

No fuel injection either.

No fuel injection either.

Which you can't have without a pump ;)

tsparks01 - Did you replace the fuse? Do you still have issues?

i have the same problem with my car. the last time it was driven you couldnt let go of the gas or else it would turn off. i think its a problem with the fuel filter. im also getting no spark at all, but theres an oil leak cause the spark plugs were all oiled up. i cleaned them up but still no spark. im in the middle of replacing the valve cover gaskets now though and im going to get new spark plugs real soon. i could use some help to what else could be wrong..
