Not enough fuel is reaching the throttle body, check your fuel pressure it may be your pump going out.

Have to spray starting fluid in the throttle body to start 1985 gmc jimmy S-15 any suggestions It is a v6 and has new fuel pump?
easiest and safest way to spray starter fluid is to spray it straight into air cleaner. you will not need to remove anything to do this and the engine will suk the fluid thru you really need to have the throttle body looked at ,as starter fluid is primarily for use in a diesel,not a gas engine
Why dont the engine start without starter fluid?
Not getting any fuel.
You have a 93 Toyota celica when you turn the key it tries to start but wont turn over like theres no gas getting to it Even when you pump it u cant smell no gas any suggests or tricks to starting it?
Injected vehicles do not spray extra fuel when you pump them so that won't help. With the assistance of a friend, one person should attempt to start the engine while the other sprays a little starter fluid into the intake. You might have to remove the cover from the air filter to do this. If the engine attempts to start while you are spraying starter fluid, but stops when you quit, you probably have a fuel delivery problem. It might be fuel pump, fuel filter, injector (if you have a single injector in the throttle body) or something else associated with the fuel system. Any time an engine won't start, always return to the basics: fuel, spark and compression. If it starts when you spray starter fluid but shuts down when you stop,it's a fuel delivery problem. If you check for a spark and there isn't one, you need to find out what's wrong with the ignition. If both of the above check out ok, check the compression. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is injected or carburated, the above ALWAYS holds true.
What would cause a 1995 Camry to not start if it cranks over fine has spark and timing belt is good?
3 components of combustion are spark, fuel and compression. You think you eliminated 2 of them, leaving fuel. Spray starting fluid into the throttle body, then crank it and see if it starts temporarily. If so lack of fuel is right. Check the cold start fuel injector. I have a '91 with same problem. Removed the cold start fuel injector, which was VERY gummed up, sprayed it off with throttle body cleaner, re-installed it, engine started perfectly. You can find this on about the middle of the throttle body housing. It will have a small fuel rail and electrical connector.
How does motor liquid starter works and what is the advantage of using it?
Starter fluid works because it is a little more combustible than gasoline. Sprayed into the intake it will ignite and start any engine that has fire. It is mostly used to start a vehicle after running out of fuel or doing fuel system repairs.
