There are no warning lights on. There is an eighth tank of gas. It turns over and desperately wants to start, but will not. I havent ever ran across this before with this car. Any ideas?

Fuel pressure is okay. We can hear the fuel pump coming on when we go to start the car. Any other ideas? Thanx for your time sir.

Sir you need to physically check the fuel pressure if its within specs hearing the fuel pump don't tell you nothing-it might not be producing the correct pressure-EFI system don't like low pressure.
