Changed EVERYTHING on the car (i.E. Starter, fuel pump, filter, ) cleaned the rail, changed fuel pressure regulator and tested the crank shaft position sensor. Car will start if spray starter fluid but will not stay running. Has a strong cranking but won't start or stay running without the fluid.


I think the fuel is making to the injectors. What would stop the fuel injectors from opening?

Is power getting to the fuel pump? Can you hear the pump run for two seconds when the key is turned to on?

Yes, it gets all the way to the injector but not coming through the injectors.

Test the cam sensor and fuses in the underhood box. Has this been scanned for codes?
