Default URGENT!!! Car doesn't start

I put an intake system in my 92eg yesterday. It was driving fine for a good 30-40 miles and so I parked it. Then when I jumped in the car and try and start it, it didn't start. It can't be the starter or the alternater because the car still makes all the noise that it should before starting, but the motor doesn't stay on...My friends and I have tried to see if the spark plugs were the problem but it wasn't. Could it be something to do with the fuel/gas injection? I don't know what's wrong. PLEASE HELP!

P.S. Yes, I am a newbie...Thankz

im confused, you say the motor doesn't stay on? so it does start and it dies? or it doesn't start at all? do you hear it rotate (sound of it starting)? please be specific

It could be the Fuel Pump Relay, hard to be specific with the info you've given..

Main fuel pump relay solved my problem.

I turned the ignition and hear it rotating and all but it doesn't "kicks" up and start. I have already changed the spark plugs and wires. I thought it might have been something to do with the distributor cap and rotor, so I changed those as well. My car still doesn't start. Is this more specific? Sorry for the inconvience of unspecified info

leave the key in the ingition and turn the key on but don't start the car. listen for your fuel pump to come on under the back seat it should make a whine for a second or two. if you have some one to help you this would be better though.

also make sure the cold air is on tight in all places. cause if it isnt on at all or too much air gets through it the car wont start either.

Have you tried checking for spark? if you do do check your fuel.
One quick way to check for fuel flow is remove the on the fuel filter, this will also check the operation of the main relays fuel pump circuit operation, have someone turn the key on and fuel sound flow alot. if it goes most likely your relay is fine.
