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:

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?

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.

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..
