Hey Guys,
Here's my problem, and it is a brain teaser for me. I have a 1998 chevy metro 1.3 liter, fuel injected, automatic, with 120,000, my problem is it will not start, not cold or hot, the only way I can get it to start is with a shot of starting fluid, then it runs smooth as can be, I bought a part car same make and model, that runs at all times with no problem, I have replaced all parts, fuel pump, injectors, all fuses, the gas tank, relays,and the computer, and still no good. Can you tell me what is going on? please !!!! This car ran great until I took it in to get a exhaust pipe welded on the my car, now its gone to hell. What is the deal any clues? :idea: Please get back with me , I appericate all your help and knowledge.
Jeff :evil: :x :?

did you replace the temperature sensor?? One time you will spray starting fluid in that 1.3 and it will fly into small pieces vary bad thing to do.
