Check fuses

I would check all fuses under the hood and dash to make sure you are getting power to the engine. The ecu injection fuse and engine fuse maybe?

Update!



Tonight I replaced the Main Relay and the Starter Cut Relay... nothing. Same thing as before.

Long story short, after two hours of screaming and yelling at the car, I remember someone telling me to put starter fluid/gas in the throttle body and see what happens. I pour like a mountain dew cap of gasoline in the throttle body... the car starts right up.


I figure yeah well, in about 10 seconds it'll shut off once the fuel gets burned up.. 8 minutes later, it's still sitting there idling. hmm. I shut it off and take the car off jackstands to see if this thing drives around. I try and start it up and nothing... cranks but won't fire. I put a little more fuel in the TB and it starts right up. I drove the car around for a good 10-15 minutes and it runs just fine, or appears to at least.

I park it in the garage, shut it off and try restarting.. fires right up. Try it again, and 3-4 more times, no problem. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, go back and try and it fires right up. Albiet, this is with using a seperate button to fire the starter (with the key in the ACC position).

Now my question(s). It appears to run fine, it drives great, all the gauges work etc. Provided all that, is there a risk that perhaps the secondary injectors aren't working, or say the fuel pump isn't working right etc? I'm assuming that since it runs and drives fine, the ECU is working properly, otherwise it wouldn't run at all. Any input? Mainly just curious if there could be any risks.. as of now, it seems that just the starter signal isn't working. thanks
