[Shotimes] no fuel, part 2

[Jim & Debbie Leyden]

You can't eliminate the fuel pump just because it runs.  You have to check
the pressure.  The '93 I just sold had the fuel pump die the day before the
new owner picked it up.  I could hear the pump run and it would build
pressure but not the 40 psi it needed.  When I depressed the Schrader valve
I would get a gurgle of fuel about 2-3" high.  After I replaced the pump it
would spray about 8"  I know, it isn't a pressure gauge but it is better
than just guessing that there is enough pressure.

Jim

Thanks, Scott, but I checked that first.  Besides, the fuel pump runs.  I'm
going to check the voltage on the injectors tonight, per Gary's suggestion,
but I strongly suspect the CPS is the culprit here.

> This is probably a long shot, but what about the fuel cutoff switch. Is it
possible that it's somehow been triggered. I remember having it happen to me
in my 89. It's located in the trunk on my 89. Just popped it back in and I
was back in business.
