90 si wont start? (getting fuel and spark to the plugs)
Alright so about 4 weeks ago i hoped in my car nd it wouldnt start. as some what knowing my way around a car my first thought was the fuel pump, so i hoped outa the car and smacked my fuel tank several times nd sure enough it fired right up. drove around like this fer a couple days nd no prob (besides having to get outa the car nd smack the under side of my car everytime i wanted to start it.) then one day i dove 2 blocks away from my house turned the car off nd could never get it started afterwards. so i thought my problem was simply the fuel pump. take the fuel tank outa the car purchase a new pump threw it back in the car nd sure enough car still wouldnt start. so then i started to think i put it in wrong so i did a fuel pressure test by unscrewing the top bolt on my fuel filter to see if it would prime nd sure enough fuel came out. i even took my rail off nd cleaned my injectors which was also gettin pressure at prime. (and i can hear the fuel pump kick on when i put the ignition on) so then i figured i wasnt gettin spark, did a spark test on each wire nd sure enough its driving spark to each plug i went ahead nd replaced my coil just to be sure nd still nothin. i also took off my timing belt and everything checked out. i have ran out of ideas nd am really startin to get annoyed on buying parts to get no where does ne one else have an idea on what i can check. keep in mind all fuses are in check nd i thought it cant be the master relay because i can hear the pump kickin ova. should i just replace my entire distributor? (it wont start when i spray a lil bit of jet fuel in the intake ethier)
if u cant read the story then just read this
been outa school fer many years so lemme use this efficient number system to get my point across
1. car cranks but wont start
2.replaced fuel pump. and ignition coil.
3.took timing cover off. belt nd everything lines up
4.sprayed lil bit of jet fuel in intake wit no reply
5. i have spark to each pllug
6. i hear fuel pump kick on at ignition
7. car still cranks but wont start

1. You need to clarify the term "car wouldn't start". Car wouldn't crank? Car would crank but not fire?
2. Please type proper english. It took me considerably longer to read your post than it should have.
You need to verify spark, fuel, and timing.
Take your plugs out and ground them to the valve cover while cranking, look for spark.
I'm not sure exactly how to test for fuel at the injectors other than pulling the rail with the injectors still plugged in. Google this.
Check timing with a timing gun. Or if you feel like digging deep, pull the timing covers off and align everything according to the marks to verify timing.

thanks fer the help i didnt realize i needed to verify fuel, spark nd timing

Checking fuel pressure by just opening the line is not telling you much of anything. You need to check the actual pressure the pump is putting out. You also should check your compression.
And just because you have been out of school for a while does not make it okay to not put effort into communication. Seriously, that hurt my head to try and read.

Please use proper spelling.. Not many people will help you out when you use slang term crap which is painful to try to understand.. some things that might help? is your battery fully charged? is there gas in your tank? plugs fouled?
