Re: help!!!!

What does it do when you try to start it and won't? Does it crank over?

Re: help!!!!

sounds like your pump is priming but not maintaining pressure put a gauge on the shrader valve and see what it reads.

Re: help!!!!

Since you have a 93, you can check the ECM for codes by shorting the ALDL connector and flashing the codes on the SES light. Might show you a stored code for the problem that prevented it from starting.
