Hello i recently purchased a 93 del sol si that had been sitting for the past 10 years. I was told it had brand new distributor and fuel injectors. I then replaced the battery, main relay, fuel pump, and fuel filter. Finally i believe gas is getting to the engine but not starting. I check 2 of the spark plugs and they looked brand new as well. Im confused on where to go next

 

Take out one of the spark plugs but leave it plugged into spark plug wire and put spark plug near metal and crank. See if you are getting spark. Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn key to on position?

 

Where are you located

 

I live in Saint Louis Missouri. So with the new fuel pump, fuel filter, and relay the fuel is being primed and is reaching the fuel injector rack but I am not sure if it is the fuel injectors A) not firing or B) clogged, or if it is the spark plugs/ ignition coils. There is a brand new distributor on it and the coils are in the right positions. Ill try the spark plug test you just recommended and see what happens, i also have plans to take a multi meter to the fuel injector plugs. Another thing i tried was spraying starter fluid into the throttle body to see if that could start it and I believe it combusted maybe once just a little after 4 tries.

 

start with the spark plug test as that is easiest but if you got some combustion with starter fluid prob getting spark but just test to eliminate that. If the car was sitting for that long injectors def could be clogged. If you have spark you can pull the rail out with the injectors and turn it over and just look at injector and see if there spraying. If not pull off the wiring and run 12v to them and see if they click

 

So quick catch up i took the fuel injectors off and then rigged a whole set up in the garage to spray carb cleaner through them and 3 of them were clogged and 1 not clicking. I had extras given to me and so now i have 4 functioning unclogged fuel injectors. I tried starting the engine and still doesn't start but now i can smell the gas getting to the engine at least. My next thing i guess is spark plug test and testing ignition coils. Im praying its one of these two because the distributor was new and after than im super confused on what it would be. The biggest thing is it isn't even chugging like its trying to start.
