starting problem

[Ameer Antar]

If you short the fuel pump on, fuel will get to the dist., but after that 
the dist. controls how much fuel gets to the injectors. You must pull the 
air flow sensor plate upwards to get fuel to the injectors. So to test, 
just pull out the injectors, position them over 5 jars, and lift the plate 
till fuel comes out, if not, try to trace where the fuel stops 
flowing...that's your problem. good luck.
