87 gxl odd starting problem
the car won't start....but if i throw gas down the motor it will start for a moment.......i checked the fuel ect......and there is gas all the way up to the secondary injectors......
So i am guessing the there is somthing wrong with the primary injectors, cause there is no gas coming out, or the ECU, or the wires going between....
Is there anything i am not thinking of ? because it looks like a PAIN...to take the primary injectors out..
Also i saw that you can reset the ECU buy i think taking off the neg battery lead and holding the brake pedel for at least a min.....but that seems way to simple.

I wish I was driving!
BC? Where are you located exactly? Perhaps I can offer some personal adivice and help.
Are you sure it is lack fuel causing your starting probs?

Don't bother to "reset" the ECU. This doesn't work on any car older than an 89. If you just want to get it started, jumper the yellow connector on the passenger side of the engine bay, front of shock tower (approx.). You should hear the fuel pump running. If you do, try and start it. If you don't, post back to the forum and we'll try and get it working.
