do the following (noting that the AFM,and intake pipe are correcty hooked up, not damaged, and the rubber boots on the pipe are not torn):
get some starting fluid, spray it into the air filter area.
1. does it run ?
2. no start/severe backfiring: check cam and distributor to cam timing in that order. rotor should point to #1 cyl (@ tdc on the compression stroke). this may be your problem. if its on the exhaust stroke it wont even fire (180 deg out). check all fuses/fusable links/grounds :
injection system -near the intake holding rod
computer under passenger kick panel
ground strap on back of the motor
battery to chassis ground next to battery
runs, then stalls when out of starting fluid:
recheck distributor timing with a light, and the terminals shorted
the smaller one is the one to short. timing should be 5deg shorted ~12 unshorted.
check fuel pressure by cracking open the cold start injector ,fuel should spray out (do it outside,put a rag under it ,safety glasses and the obvious no smoking). if not ,short the fuel pump check connector as in the following:
the fuel pump should come on and you may be able to hear it. note : i use a jumper that is insulated up to the point where it actually plugs on, to reduce the chance of a unwanted short to ground.
i will bet you will find the problem above.
