Engine wouldn't start

Yes it did fire when I used starting fluid. So if my 93 Cadillac fires when I us starting fluid does that mean its the pump?

I can hear the pump cycle, builds pressure and shuts off. Fuse checked out to be good. I could feel and here the relay click. This fuse box is under the hood on the passenger side. Still wont start. Charging battery, the going to try putting some gas straight into the carb. Any more ideas?

Cadieman. I went backout to the garage after you replied on your last answer, so idecided to take the gas lines off the back of the carburetor, both of them, then turn the car over and no gas came out. So does this mean the pump is bad? (Even thow I can hear the pump)vince

I dropped the gas tank on the 1993 cad. I installed a new pump I figured it was weak and when I put the car back together it started YA.

Vince Lettau, my 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham suddenly would not crank. It turned on and the dash lights and cluster powered up, but the ignition would not allow the key to turn any farther to power the starter motor or solenoid. I by-passed this neutral safety switch by turning the key on and stepped on the brake pedal, moved the transmission from Park to Neutral, and the turned the key to the starter position, and the car starts every time. So now I am wiring around the this failed safety switch connecting the starter solenoid purple power wire directly to a 12 volt battery source through a relay so the wires won't burn open after one engine start.
