Has great fuel pressure and hot spark to the plugs. Wondering if there is a sensor to allow fuel to the injectors and or possibly a fuse? Have experience with jumped timing belts and it cranks normal not like a sewing machine with no compression. Thank you

Hi,

If you have spark and fuel, try this. See if the engine starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is fuel related.

Next, here is a link that explains how to test fuel injectors and for an injector pulse. Do this also to see if there is power to the injectors.

As far as a fuse, there isn't one directly for the injection. Check to see if there is power and let me know what you find.

Hello,

This sounds like it could be a problem with your vehicle's camshaft position sensor[CMP] which is located in the distributor. In the diagrams down below I have included a description of the CMP, it's location, and a guide on how to test the CMP. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you discover.

Thanks,
Alex
