    Nothing against you dude and please take this constructively.. this car should have been running 3 pages ago. 3800's are about the easiest cars out there to work on. They run like no other. I went to start one that hadn't moved from a garage for over 7 years. I took a battery, 13mm and 8mm. That's all I brought. It fired up on about 2.5 cylinders. Kept it running with some throttle, then eased it up and down a few times.. Poof the remaining injectors cleared and it purred. 7 year old gas and oil. Get to it and if you need to write a list.. do so. Whatever helps you concentrate.

    Also.. the security light does not blink like crazy, it always has the same speed to it. It will keep blinking if you have a fault. I doubt that's the issue... what year is the car? Anything prior to 04, automatically primes the fuel pump and sprays a little fuel into the intake to start the engine when you turn the key to on.
    okay well im sorry for wasting everyones time on here

    Hey man. While I understand where bill is coming from, I can also sympathise with where you're at, and there's noting wrong with that period.

    6 years ago, I didn't even know how to change my oil, now I've rebuilt several engines and transmissions and fixed just about everything on my car that I bought for $200. That's not to toot my own horn, there's still plenty I don't know, I'm saying this to remind everyone that we all started somewhere.

    If I was frustrated at you I wouldn't be responding, and shame on me. I think we lose track of helping those in need. You're trying, and in my book, that's enough. (Plus ya know, you've got a fuel rail and alternator from me so I feel a bit responsible! Haha)

    Just keep working at it and posting! I know I'll keep trying till it's fixed!

    Man. I've always wanted a fiero! Can't wait to see a thread on that!

    And yup. My grandfather was a mechanic, but he died before I was around so I'm with you there! My dad's into carpentry, which is cool, but no so useful on cars. Haha

    Whoa... you aren't wasting our time. I mean.. if you have trouble concentrating, write a list and check the items off. The suggestions are mostly spot on for diagnosing and getting you back on the road. Try out the various items/tests and let's get it running again. I'm fairly sure it's something simple that you not being an expert on these cars (yet) are possibly overlooking.

    Get to it.. we need to know if you have wet spark plugs, no spark etc.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
