Ok I've replaced the fuel pump it comes in short Time then nothing from it it doesn't turn back on when turn The engine over what do I check what could My problem be. Oh I guess I'll tell you what happened I was going about 35 running good it acted like it lost 5 cylinders and died that took a couple seconds it hasn't started Since I've replaced the fuel pump Since I wasn't getting fuel I figured that was the problem. No BB back fires it just turns over tried starting fluid scared to use to much don't want to blow it up. So should it start with starting fluid even If no fuel getting to the rail. I'm very confused. Since it I guess the prime part of it I figured I had power to the pump. Please help I've drove myself crazy (. It needs to have fuel pump on motor and carburetor and Cap and rotor. Then I can fix it old school)

Yep, let's check for spark first this video can help:

If you don't have spark the PCM will not run the fuel pump on. we should run the codes here is a guide to help.

I tried to follow your ideas nothing is working for me. I appreciate everything you tried to do. I'm just for now going to try to have it towed to a shop to fix. You gave me a lot to try as much as I could I tried I couldn't figure out where stuff was in my car or motor. I'm ordering a book that shows me where and how. You did good. The wiring pic was alright but ty got to be able to understand what you're looking at. Every time I brought up things on tube or wherever the car's they showed wasn't mine, so it does no good. Thanks again

Okay, let me know, can I ask if you check for spark? Also does the engine run on starting fluid?
