Is the fuel pump pressure within the manufacturer's specs?

Based on your description, it sounds like it isn't getting gas. See if it will start for a few seconds using starting fluid. Let me know what you find.

The cleaner shouldn't have hurt anything. Not sure of the valve you are talking about. Can you upload a picture of it for me to see? Could it be the fuel pressure regulator?

If it looks like a tire valve, it sounds like the schrader valve. That is where you check fuel pump pressure. Is that leaking? It is on the fuel rail.

Please, I can't remember if you have multi port injection. Can you tell me?

I am having trouble remembering if they were in 92. I believe they were. If you are certain that the fuel pump pressure is within the manufacturer's specs. I need you to check and see if there is a good hot blue snapping spark to the plugs. Also, let me know how many miles are on this engine.
