The timing belt broke on my Metro. After changing belt and adding new plugs the car won't start. The carb. is not getting fuel, but all relays, fuel pump, and filter is working properly. Car will start when starer fluid is sprayed in engine. Any ideas?

The most likely causes are:

1. A dead fuel pump (could be the pump, pump relay or wiring circuit);

2. A plugged fuel filter;

3. Low fuel pressure (weak pump or restricted line); or

4. No pulse signal to injectors (bad injector relay or PCM driver circuit).
