engine wont start and im pretty sure its because im not getting any fuel. i dont here the buzzing noise when i turn the key. i tried jumping 12v to the check connector under the hood and had no change. i checked relay harness and have 12v on 2 pins(key on). i then checked for 12v at fuel pump connector and i only get 12v at blue/yellow wire, which i dont think is the power source for pump. according to alldata i should have 12v at the black/white wire, and i dont. i havent tested the relay yet, but i did jumped a wire to the black/white wire and still had no affect. i have no idea where to start. fuel pump? relay? short?, and yes the tank has gas in it.
 
dont know if this has anything to do with it, but im also not getting signal to starter and have been running a remote. i also have noticed that the lights dont turn on or flip up and the seatbelts dont retract. is there a main fuse or relay for key on. i swapped the mpi relay today with another and no changes.
 
replaced fuel pump, i can now hear it prime when i apply voltage to check connector. im getting fuel pressure now but still no start. also i read that the pump does not prime itself with key on with 1g's, is this true. somebody please, any advice is appreciated.
 
yes but only 2 cyllinders. im not sure if im getting injector pulse or if the injectors are clogged. however i just orders a ecu from motorguys and ill see what happens. does this sound like an ecu issue?

edit: she tries to start when i spray starter fluid so i know its still not getting fuel. i can feel the inlet line fill up as system primes up.
 
today checked for injector pulse, and im not getting any signal. again these are my symtoms-

-no injector pulse
-no spark 2 cyllinders
-no fuel pump signal

pulled ecu today and saw no burn marks or leaking caps? is there anything else i should check?
 
I would say cam angle sensor, but since you are getting spark on 2 cylinders, it might be a coil pack out, at least the one coil that drives 2 cylinders, because the 2 are firing. Are you getting fuel? if not sure, disconnect the fuel rail, and get a bucket then try turning it over, you can then see if any sprayed out.
 
well i can hear the fuel running through the rail, but no start. she almost starts when i spray starter fluid. i checked for injector pulse and i am getting no signal. a cam sensor issue would make sense but i checked for fluxuation before the swap. so i still dont know if the two issues are related but my gut says that they are.:confused:
 
k, swapped out ecu with a motorguys rebuilt, and no change. i am so stumped right now. still no injector pulse and no spark in 2 cyllinders. what should i check out next. cas or power transistor? please somebody, i'v been stuck on this for over 2 weeks.:banghead:
 
k i tested the cas and it checked out fine. i dont know if the power trans. has anything to do with injectors but i know its a possible issue. i've read on alldata how to test it but it seems kinda involved. i read in my haynes book that no injector signal can be one of three things. ecu, injector resistor or break in circuit. where is the injector resistor? and how do i test it.
