Cavalier won't start

I changed a leaking fuel injector in my 1997 cavalier and now it won't start. I'm sure everything is back together right and I purged the fuel line of air but it still seems as if its not getting gas. It turns over fine but will not start. Any ideas.

Sometimes things can go wrong after a repair is made and it has nothing to do with what was fixed. First of all go back and check your work thoroughly. If everything is ok then turn the key to the on position, (without starting it), and see if you hear the fuel pump cut on. If not tap on the fuel tank with a hammer while someone else tries to start it. If it starts, replace the fuel pump, if not then you'll need to find out if you have power to the pump. Also check the fuel pump relay. Hope the info helps :wink:
