95 z was hit in front,ran fine before accident,has spark,has inj pulse, fuel pump comes on , fuel gets to motor,did not ck fuel press yet, will start w/ starting fluid, any suggestions????

 

I think you answered your own question...............check fuel pressure.

 

can the fuel pump go out because of a hard hit in front?this seems odd

 

I can't see any way possible a hit in the front could cause the fuel pump to go. Sounds more like a leak in your lines or something.

 

Turn you key to the on postion and if you hear your fuel pump priming then it is working for start up. Check your fuel pressure at the valve next to the pressure regulator. If you have the stock regulator on it should hold at 47 psi.

 

ok, so i pressed the shradervalve and gas shot out, but when i installed test gauge, reading was on 0, did not move needle a bit!is this possible to have guel present and 0 pressure, or maybe my gauge did not hit the shrader?

 

i just checked f.p. with a diff gauge, it has 45 psi and it holds right there,any other ideas???? anyone?

 

ok its running, would you believe it was low on gas and the tank showed close to half? the only problem is that now it soits and dies out if you give it gas. could that be from the maf hose/elbow leaking air/partially disconnected?

 

Yes, that would definately cause a problem.

 

ok i fixed maf pipe and air filter assm, it still dies out and spits when u give it gas. any ideas????

 

Try taping the gage to the windshield and watching pressure as you accelerate. Try disconnecting the maf before you start it up(leave it in place). You will get an ses light but it is ok. If it runs fine, your problem is maf related. If not, it isn't.

 

Did you put more 93 octane in it ?

There are any numer of things it could be honestly, just from spitting and sputtering. Could be the opti since it was hit in the front.

how do u check if opti is working properly? there is spark out of the coil, do you ck each cylinder one at a time?
