The car will not start, it is getting spark but I'm thinking it's not getting fuel. It will start if you use starting fluid but then it will shut off shortly after and I can hear the fuel pump kick on when turning the key to the on position. It does have a brand new battery but any information on helping me getting this car going would be much appreciated.

I don't see any security light anywhere with the key in the run position. Unless I'm mistaking it for a different light. I will check for injector pulse tomorrow and is there any way I can check for fuel pressure on this car because I have a fuel pressure tester but this car doesn't have a schrader valve and I don't have the adapter tool to properly test for fuel pressure.

What color is the head of your key where your key chain goes?If there isn't a schreader valve then you will need the adapter.
