Arrow Why dont I have fuel?

I cant get this damn 13b-re started. It seems like the block is getting no fuel at all but yet the injectors get power and the rail gets fuel. It just turns and turns till i spray some starter fluid in and then itll buck up for a sec and then die. Any ideas?

If you mean the injectors, they are getting power and I doubt both primaries can be so badly clogged that there is NO fuel being released. The plugs come out bone dry.

doubt is a powerful thing....

If you are 100% positive that the rail is getting PRESSURE then there can be no other answer besides the injectors, or what drives them

edit: possibly secondary wires on the primaries...vice versa?

You need to check the ECU PLUG pins for each injector to see if your getting 12vdc at each pin.

If you jumper the fuel pump check connector and turn the key to ON, you should hear a constant flow of fuel back to the tank. If you don't, then you've got the fuel lines on the engie backwards. Reverse 'em.

You also NEED to remember if the ground lug for the ECU grounds got installed on the top of the rear rotor housing.

Are you running a MAF Sensor? That might be it. That was the problem on my car.

Yeah, flapper door in the air flow sensor activates a switch to give power to the fuel pump. If the sensor is unplugged or if the flapper door isn't being sucked open when the engine is cranking, the fuel pump won't do anything.

If the fuel system has been worked on lately, make sure the fuel lines are properly hooked up. I don't think you can send fuel the wrong way through the pressure regulator.
