If the fuel filter is clogged up the car will not start at all... it's worth replacing and should be done once a year. Costs about $10



No, I had the same problem with my 95 firebird. Check the fuel pump relay. It's located in the driver side under the kick board under the dash. Might be in a different place on your car. But mine kept popping the relay and I found out it is because the fuse box for the relay has a short in it.Answer
try replacing the mapp sensor
also if that doesn't work..had same issue on my 88 birdmake a long story short after a pump...relay...and all new relays under hood..winded up being a 3 in piece of rubber that goes between ur pump and lines in tank...check it for rot..and u got ur answer...it wound up not getting gas or get gas for a sec then die hope this helps.

How does spark plug works?

A spark plug works by using a high voltage energy pulse. The electricity arcs the gap between the anode and trhe cathode creating a spark. The spark ignites the fuel / air mixture in the cylinder.

Wont start you changed spark plugs?

You need to check wires. Make sure that you connected plug wires in the correct order. Check that wires are sitting tightly on spark plugs. If it didn't work, remove spark plugs and check the gap for all of them. Install the spark plugs and try to start again. If it didn't work install old spark plugs and try again. If it didn't work check the fuse box under the hood. Hopefully it works.


How do you know if spark plugs and wires are bad?

Take the spark plug out, push back into it's pocket, set the spark plug on a grounded piece of metal, have someone crank the engine while the spark plug is grounded (but don't hold onto the spark plug, common sense right?) if a spark appears between the little arm the spark plug works, if it doesn't spark, replace with a new plug, and if the new plug doesn't start you have a faulty wire.
