    If you push the schrader valve in on the fuel rail after cranking, does fuel spray out or just dribble?

    im gonna throw out the resistor for this one to be tried first.

    find the fuel pump relay in the under hood fuse block, bend tab 85 out so it cant go back in. this should keep the fuel pump in high speed mode tricking the resistor. if this doesnt work then you have another problem. good luck

    i did the intake gaskets then it was running. Then i messed up where my thermostat housing goes. So I had to replace the LIM. So basically had to do the job again. But this time i forgot to spray starting fluid.

    You spray after its running to check for leaks. Make sure you have everything plugged in. Did you have the coil pack bracket off again?

    Spark is easy...take off spark plug wire from spark plug, hold the end in your hand, have someone crank the car...if you get shocked, you have spark.

    Do this in bare feet on a wet floor. If you die then you definitely have spark.
    The next owner will get it running.
