got an 85 z28 i got a 383 storker for it on an engine stand but would like finishing building the drive train before putting it in so i got a 1991 305 tpi in it right now and cant get the car to run. got spark and pushing 45 psi for fuel pressuer. it fires when we squrt starting fluid down the intake but wont run on its own any ideas

 

does it run on eather, or does it diesel? if you have fuel and spark, do you have compression and timing?

 

ya it runs on eather but thats it would the vats system have anything to do with fuel

 

im not sure which gets cut out by vats. is the security light blinking?

 

my 85 duznt have a security light in the gauge cluster

 

i am back to work on my 85 fuel problem now that the motor is in my 96 z which i found out that the trany i got for it is toast and dont have $ for another one so thats done for the year

i was looking at the fuse panal on my 85z and a fuse panel on a 91 trans am dash that i have in my shop at i was going to customize it to fit a fiero but never did and on that fuse panel it has a little one thats clips on to the back that has
vats 10 amp fuse
arc 20 amp fuse
crank 3 amp fuse
Drl 10 amp fuse
fog

the motor came out of an 91 trans am so i am wondering if any of this has to do with me not getting power to my fuel injectors

 

bump bump

 

just carb it and be done thats what i would do

 

i dont want to do that tho the only intake i have at the moment is my tunnel ram and thats to much for a stock 305

 

is it the 85 or 91 that isnt running?
