with a fuel pressure gauge. First pop a vac line off the mani, use the pcv line, and spray some brake clean in while a buddy turns the car over. if it fires you have a fuel delivery issue. assuming it fires off the brake clean then pull the carpet in the trunk & check for voltage at the pump. if you have voltage it's likely the pump, if not it's electrical. post up what you find. if it's electrical I'll post up the diagrams so you can trace it down


How do you make a small fortune racing? Start with a very large one!!!

well I took the fuel line off the fuel rail and tryed to start the car and it pumped fuel into the pan I had under the line so I think the fuel pump is working. turbwop told me how to jump a wire by the brake master cyl. to see if the pump comes on but i did not hear anything when I did that, could this be a cam position sens?

Well that's one way... did you try what I recommended? if so did the engine fire?
