1990 GT turns over but won't start
So I was driving about a block away from my house, the V8 engine gurgling like a beast as always, but suddenly the engine cut out, and I coasted to a stop. I tried to restart but it would just turn over and over. I thought (since the fuel gas gauge is broken as well) that I was out of gas, but no, after dumping a 2 gallon can in there was still no start. So I thought "Hey, the fuel filter may be clogged", but after changing it out I saw that fuel was running freely through both ends of the line. So that leaves me with I guess the fuel pump, or no spark.
Any suggestions?

so which don't you have??? use a spark checker to check for spark and when you turn the key on briefly do you hear the pump pulse???

so turn the key to the on position and as soon as you do that listen for a humm around the trunk area or back seat from inside the car...it'll make a noise for a brief second or two and then shut off.....if that doesn't do it for you open the gas cap and put your ear up to it while someonr switches on the ignition switch listen for the fuel pump to power up briefly then go out

it is if you get in an accident, the buttons pops as a safety feature so the fp stops working. You could have a pour ground on the fp circuit as well, if the button does not do the trick.
