Alright, my car has been dead for the past few days and it's driving me crazy. At first I thought I wasn't getting spark from the distributor, but today when I checked, I am not getting any fuel. I unplugged the fuel line that goes into the fpr and pushed on the gas but no fuel came out. I have no idea what is wrong with my car. When I tried to turn on my car, the CEL would come on for a few seconds and then die. What does that mean? Also I installed a fuel kill switch a few months back. Could that have done anything to my fuel system? I really need help. thanks

 

come on people I really need help!

Uh you've asked a VERY broad question with not much technical information.

Yes your fuel kill switch could be killing the fuel... I think that's the point of it right?

It's most likely your problem... unless the main relay or the fuel pump itself went out it's prob. your switch.

Can you hear the fuel pump priming when you initially turn on the car?

Is the system pressurized (check by loosening the pressure release nut on top of the outlet of the fuel filter).

P.S. Don't EVER EVER EVER under ANY cirumstances have an open source of fuel spraying into your engine compartment... that's not really a bright idea.

There are proper ways to test for fuel delivery and if you don't know them DO NOT improvise or you'll most likely be the next winner of the Darwin Award.

 

pushing your gas pedal will not "make gas come out". your system will pressurize when you turn the key to the accessory position. pushing your gas pedal only opens the throttle body.
check for power to the fuel pump. check the the fuel pump works. if not, check the kill switch that you put in. if you had this problem AFTER you installed the switch, it would only make sense that is the issue.
