Default Will not start.......91 CRX.

I backed the car up and it just stalled. I have checked the ECU and it lights up, so that means the main relay is good. Stuck a screw driver in the plug wires and I am getting spark. I pulled the fuel hose off the filter and tried to start it and fuel is coming out. I don't know what else to try. It is turning over but will not start. Any one have any more ideas?

ok, swapped out the relay and it started right up........

Then about an hr later it would not start again. I keep trying to start it and noticed that I am not smelling any fuel, so I sprayed some down the t-body and it started. yay!!!

So I had some swapped injectors laying around and put them in. Well it will start, but it sounds like it is starving. I am going to change the filter today, but fo you guys think it may be the pump? Or is there any thing else it could be?

ok this is what you do to see if your pump is bad...this is going to take two people...have a friend put the car key in the accesories turn, you know where all the dash lights come on...and when he does that put your ear to the gas cap door. if you hear like a whirling sound then your pump is good. i dont really know what a bad one would sound like.
