It will not start misfiring while trying to start it. It will not have gas pressure once it does start I cannot give it more gas.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

The first thing we need to identify are trouble codes. Here is a link that shows how to retrieve GM OBD1 trouble codes. Also, I need you to check fuel pump pressure to confirm it is within the manufacturer's specs. Do this and let me know what you find.

Here are the manufacturer's specs for fuel pressure:

FUEL PRESSURE
1. Ignition "OFF" for 10 Seconds.
2. With ignition "ON," engine "OFF" and fuel pump running, pressure should be 284-325 kPa (41-47 psi).
For additional fuel pressure testing procedures, See: A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ) > Related Tests, Information and Procedures > A - E Charts & Related Test Procedures

Follow these directions for retrieving diagnostic trouble codes.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
