Do you have spark?
how much fuel pressure do you have ?
have you tryed spraying carb cleaner into the intake to see it the car will hit. pull the hose off where the air cleaner connects to the intake and spray some carb cleaner in the intake quit a bit of it you will have to open the butterfly to get in the intake. then crank the motor. this will tell you two things if you have fire and it will tell you if your not getting fuel there. it the motor hits off the cleaner that answered the question of does it have fire. then that means you have a fuel problem. let me know 8) NOS

Check all the fuses, both in the dash and under the hood. The fuse box under the hood also contains some relays. If all the fuses are good, try swapping out relays (the same type of relay).


Good luck.
