a to 3 from t: no yes there is fuel ha ha, must be asked right? and dont know about the voltage, gonna grab my friends multimeter later this week and check it, not sure on the length of time since the wires have been changed but i can tell they are fairly new

it cranks over just wont start, the car is stock, and i tested by sticking a screw driver in the wires and holding it near the motor, i checked all of them, went to the junkyard and tried a different coil but same results, will check the other stuff i listed earlier, but hopefully somebody could tell me something else i might be missing to look for when i try again...

so not long ago my mom let somebody borrow her car, from what she told me they described it as a popping sound while driving down the highway right before it died out and now it wont start, i took a peek at it and can already see its getting no spark, from what i have read that could be caused by cam and crank position sensors, coil, igniter, and ecu? perhaps somebody has some insight on this and sorry if this is a repeat question, thanks

so.....is anyone going to reply with specific answers to direct questions?

ya, where exactly is that repair manual section about spfi? and shouldnt i be hearing or feeling some whirring or vibrating from the pump when i turn the ignition on and off or is there such little power at that time that it wont do that? and i actually cancelled my plans for yesterday and i didnt do all that work, instead i was all like hey look at me im hungover so now ill get drunk and high all day. so i think damn, what a waste of a day, but i talked to this guy who said it might be my distributor coil, and he said there should be a coil underneath the distributor but i cant find it and it does not look like im getting any spark from it when i ground it to the car with a screwdriver or alligator clamps so where should i check for spark from this cars distibutor because im used to just pulling the wire off and grounding it but its not working so i was thinking either this car is direct current spark or it doesnt work? god i hate this ****ing car yet its saved all my other cars lives through rain, snow and mud so its kind of sentimental value to me and also i checked the starter with a volt ohm meter and im not getting power from that but it has 3 wires coming from the negative and 2 wires from the positive and then 1 of the negative and positive wires go into the LF fender so im getting power to the starter but i cant seem to find power coming out......so starter, ignition, dirtributor, and general test points for locating either a mechanical or electrical problem and solution for my car might be appreciated?-craazy

ya i was going to check those 4 things tomorrow but thanks for the advice about the fuel pump relay i checked all the fuses but i wasnt sure which one did what and then i thought it could be a fusible link near the battery thats rotted on the inside but im gonna strip the interior tomorrow along with the heater and air conditioner so if i see anything near the kick panel ill see whats up-craazy

but i replaced the filter with the pump......

yo, this is my first post here and im about to start restoring my gl which you should know is an 86 hatch. it used to run but then it started dying out of no where and it wouldnt start back up so i figured it was the the fuel pump so i replaced that and it still wouldnt start, and then i would turn it to on and off on the ignition but i couldnt feel any whirring or vibrating from the pump so i checked the wires with a volt-ohm meter and it was getting power but the resistance seemed unusually high so maybe i should change the fuel pump wires but they look fine. so now i want to get serious and do all kinds of compression and ignition tests but maybe its something simple like intake or backpressure problems? if anybody has had problems with one of these before not starting and fixed it or if theres a thread about an 86 no start issue with no pump action please message me back-craazy
